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.

For those focused on the Israel-Gaza war, she has tried to emphasize the stakes of the climate crisis. “I mean, don’t you want to pass down a better world to the next generation?”

So for those focused on the Israel-Gaza war, she tried to change the topic. Terrible approach.

A better world to the next generation? While Zionists have been destroying the world of their neighbors with bombardments for over a year and keep doing so with no end in sight? While Zionists are actively participating in an effort to eliminate the next generation of Palestinians? So the actual suggestion is to disregard these facts, for a better world for everyone, except Palestinians.

Enough for sure, but not for the reasons mentioned in this article.
