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.

Imagine trying to economically punch Cuba in the dick, but ultimately just rapidly accelerating Cuba’s green energy infrastructure and helping them achieve nominal energy independence.

As a unitedstatesian who thinks the blockade is very fucking stupid, I am happy at the ultimate outcome here, as it will give our stupid fucking regime less leverage over Cuba, and diminish our ability to fuck with them economically for no good reason.

Now if only someone would stop the flow of oil to all countries

Above all, it is exceedingly heartless. The people of Cuba are among the poorest in the Western hemisphere. It is like robbing a starving man who has worked hard all day of his food bowl.

Seems that the Demented one is truly a climate warrior! He has done more to electrify everything than anyone else!
