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.

I'm surprised people at those cookouts can notice with impossible though.

Honestly, it might have been Beyond rather than Impossible. I don't often distinguish between them since I just buy whatever's on sale and throw it in the freezer. When I'm cooking for myself, either's fine, so I don't care which I grab.

I don't think I've ever air fried them, though, so that's something I may try. I should also start using a charcoal grill rather than propane. Would probably give them a better flavor.

I've had Impossible from Red Robin and Burger King, which both grill their burgers, and have found them to be pretty darn indistinguishable, and I'm a big time burger fan.

The Beyond I find to be very distinct. I haven't been around "raw" Impossible patties, but I've made the Beyonds at home a number of times. They smell like cat food to me before they're cooked up, but I absolutely love the flavor of them so much! They have this vegetal background taste, but whatever it is, it tickles my taste buds in a very pleasant way for someone not usually the biggest veggie fan. I could see people not liking it, but I get periodic cravings for it now, since it is such a distinct flavor that nothing else matches.

We use charcoal and it's pretty darn good. We prefer to cook them until there's a 'crispy' texture on the outside, my SO doesn't enjoy softer textures and figured out a way to carefully cook them to have a bit of char. They feel even closer to beef like this to us.

I've also experimented with a griddle by smashing them thin too. Results were promising, I just haven't quite got it down yet though

I personally prefer the Impossible meat, it feels a lot more like beef than Beyond. Not to say Beyond isn't great too though
