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.

Nah takes a pretty smart person to completely unilaterally change the constitution while suppressing the majority of states and people.

No, it takes a team of people to pay smart people to create plans of actions. Trump is a puppet. And if you think the constitution is gonna mean anything, you’re funny.

Again you're making your enemy out to be infinitely strong and smart. The election is over, using that fascist propaganda tactic is pointless. Trump et al will be yet another neoliberal presidency. Like the last time.

I'm not the one thinking he's an all powerful patriarch of a global conspiracy that would require pretty much all members to be hyper competent if not hyper intelligent super humans to accomplish.

Perhaps if you had a better education you would have better comprehension skills. I hope your healthcare is denied. Goodbye
