EU's Green Deal improved its climate performance: a 1.5°C pathway is close
(climateactiontracker.org)
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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
Sound like bullshit. We already had +1.45°C last year¹ and even if we completely stopped emitting anything at all, our excessive emissions from the past will certainly cause the temperature to rise over 1.5°C. The emissions path for 1.5°C would need to be negative very soon or maybe even years ago.

To go into negative emissions we just have to ramp up carbon capture and sequestering...
looks at all the past and current CCS and DAC prototypes so far
Oh no...
CCS is right now as feasible as fusion.
You see if we get fusion working we can use that energy to capture carbon... /s
That's Star Trek levels of optimism right there.
