Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

That will surely lower the cost of eggs! I know people say it all the time, but like cruelty is the point. Why do this? There is no savings, no point, it’s just to be a prick.

Everything he is doing is just to be a prick.

Russia is a petro state. Need I elaborate?

Everyone is focusing on musk, not realizing he's trumps patsy. He's the goddamn fall guy. He said some true, but unkind, things about trump and trump doesn't forget slights. If this charade starts to crumble, he's going to point at musk and blame him for everything.

I think they have other fall guys lined up. Trump seems barely coherent enough to run for office, musk is pulling trump's strings

@silence7 Oof. There is going to be hell to pay when the president finds out about this….

Is this going to piss off his boss; Lonely Kumslut? Or is he intending to replace them?

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that's going to be my guess. Rip out the existing ones, then he sells a bunch of cybertrucks to the government and suddenly those chargers need to be installed, but this time as Tesla superchargers.

Nah, Mellon Husk stands to benefit if other brands' EV chargers close down

These are almost all non-Tesla chargers with a plug which makes them more convenient with other brands.

Edit: fixed who can use the chargers

[–] lordkuri@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

with a plug which can only be used by other brands.

Let's not spread misinformation. Teslas come with an adapter to use J1772 plugs for charging, they can use those stations just fine.

Less convenient to use does not equal impossible to use.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

His boss is the dictator of a major petro state. I'm sure he'll be pleased.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Turnip should sell Elmo's Cyberdump then..
