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.

P.S. Never should have killed that fuckin Gorilla...

Honestly it really started to go wrong with the Bush V Gore election and SC fuckery in '00. The gorilla was just icing on the cake.

What about when Reagan (allegedly) conspired with the Iranians to sabotage Carter's chances of winning the election?

Or Nixon conspiring with the VC to delay peace in Vietnam until after the election. Honestly the fuckery really started back in the late 50s and early 60s if we're looking for the roots of our current fascist problem.

Spend a bit of time watching Ken Burns Vietnam documentary at some point, it's an eye opener w.r.t. the current Republican strategy.

Heh and to think Carter was putting solar panels on top the White House, but America has always had a hard on for the corrupt snake oil salesman.
