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.

I’m old enough to remember (just barely) drinking before the hop craze, and I when it first started and there were more beer choices I thought it was great, because sometimes I like some hop forwardness. But then everything became hops and way to much and microbrews started offering like 10ipas and nothing else and i just want a damn hefeweisen (or any wheat) and theres just one option among 50 ipas and extra triple ultra ipas or whatever..

Heres hoping for a bigger variety of choices.

I think the problem has grown bigger than just over hopped beers. Every beer fad just becomes an arms race to see who can get the most extreme and it takes over the smaller brewers. We used to love going to small breweries but they’re ridiculous now and have been for years with no end in sight. For a while, every beer was mouth blisteringly sour. We had disgustingly sweet dessert stouts for a while. And the juicy craze. The head brewer at my local brewery was bragging to me about having bought out his suppliers mango puree. Bro this is why I just go to the pub and drink Yuengling now.

Yep, you’re absolutely correct. Honestly I wish I could get yeungling here, it’s probably my favorite for the price.
