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:

Rein in the state from what, NYTimes??

You can’t put shit like that in your headline and then not elaborate on it at all in the article. Rein CA in from exercising its state sovereignty? Rein in the state’s desire to not suffocate its residents? Rein in the state’s ability to use its size and political strength to make the rest of the country slightly healthier?

What the fuck are we reining in, NYTimes, other than CA’s left-leaning tendencies?? FFS I’m sick of this newspaper.

They're taking on the attitudes of the Trump administration which just announced:

We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.

After which they pushed Senator Padilla out of the room for saying his name and trying to ask a question and then handcuffed him.

Yeah, seriously. Thanks for sharing those clips, I hadn’t seen the video of Padilla yet, and now I’m thoroughly enraged.
