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.

Wow. It is great to read from somebody talking from a place of truth and love. This is powerful.

Our civilizations is lost because the people on the top of power who should lead and care for us are like parents which just lead their children into the woods to starve, like in the Grimm's tale. What we need now are real leaders. And leadership starts with telling the truth - with encountering reality.

Ford rarely AFIAK speaks about politics or beliefs. He's super private in that way. So for him to open his mouth about this is actually pretty troubling.

He's seen people who have seen things you people wouldn't believe!

Oh God wait till he realizes how screwed we are from PFAS and microplastics

When he learns actually have the tech to solve those problems ( we do ) but just we fired everyone working on it ( we did ) his alarm level should adjust accordingly
