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.

It's a lie

You see, the pollution is beyond the environment, it's not in the environment.

What’s the point in doing this and complaining that no one outside of American buys American cars?

“Trump says penguins are not real, unicorns can fly, and if you eat enough McDonald’s and drive a Tesla you will be immortal”

The second part really wasn't needed, NYT, but thanks. Unless it's a standard now to add that to the end of anything he says.

what, are you telling me that Donald Trump, the current president of the United States, lied? Stop the presses!
