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.

Life for what? Did she kill someone? Did she heinously steal millions from improverished communities? Did she turn off Safelites and directly involve herself in an active war, foreign to her own land resulting in the death of citizens? Did she try to steal an election? Did she get kick back from the Saudi government to the tune of 2 billion dollars? Was she responsible for brexit? Did she steal from.her government by not paying taxes on corporate greed?

NoOoOoOOo?!?!?! She didn't.... hmmm why would you want her to spend life in prison?

OH!!!!! I GET IT.. she said she wants all CEOs who are killing our plantet, to stop doing that, and she crossed the Atlantic ocean in essentially a paddle boat....

so that to you, deserves taxes be spent to house her for life on a made up crime.... tell you what... fine, arrest and charge her, and imprison her for life ... but ONLY IF it comes out on your dime only... since you are the only one asking for it... we will give you your way and fuck the rest of what the world wants... no have you way on one condition, if you pay for it... and only you... if you can't afford it, then shut tf up, move on...

You're as bad as the politicians imprisoning humans over cannabis, so they have warm bardies for slave work in their private prisons... you should trade spots with them
