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.

Because it wasn’t his plan. Literally if anyone else does it it is bad. Trump is the most important and his ideas are the best

If only he could make them run on whale oil and pay twice as much they would be so much better

That's the case with literally everything in the government pre 2016.
Why roll back this thing, and a few others? What's the line separating them from everything else?

Well nothing…

He’s wanted to kill the ACA because Obama. But hasn’t had a plan in 8 years?

Air Force One, had be be redone after he cancelled Obama’s planned version. So his big brain re did it for a higher price and now is delayed until after 2028 ; so he now won’t get to fly it.

I’ve not talked to him about it, but I’m guessing that he 1, hates electric cars and 2, hates anything not trump.
