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.

If we're going to get into weird racism based on ethnic origin and geographic location then sorry but I'm out, I don't want people to think anything I said supports or agrees with the ideals of ethnic segregation which you seem to be preaching.

I do not believe there is any scientific evidence or social trends which show white people can't live in the south or black people shouldn't live in North America and Europe, the agenda you have of keeping people sorted into restricted locations based on ethnicity is vile to me and disappointing to see on lemmy.

Mate, if you think me talking smack about florida and qld translates to 'black people should't live in northern hemispheres' then THAT is entirely an invention of your own malformed thought processes

Leave me the fuck out of your disease
