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 am aware that the use of such source is frowned upon. Nonetheless, the elonjettracker dude got busted from X© and now has his own sub. Interesting content to say the least, and it does help put things into perspective. Also i hope Lemmy implements flairs as a feature, this post could thus use a discussion flair, to signal that such content is up for debate.

The great replacement theory has not taken hold there yet?

I never understand how the great replacement theory is supposed to work in an immigrant nation like the US. Don’t most Americans trace back to another place 2-3 generations back? Also, aren’t most immigrants (those from Latin America) 1. More likely to have (some) native roots, and 2. Likely to have settled in the Americas for a longer time (I.e. more generations).

That is, Americans are getting “replaced” by people that are more American.

Your problem is you're thinking logically. The people who subscribe to conspiracy theories like that either aren't skeptical enough to grasp how irrational it is or know it's bullshit and see it as a tool to push their fascist agenda.

Accepting that the US is a nation of immigrants means the American Fundamentalist religion is false, and the faithful can't allow that.

Yes, but those ‘more American’ people aren’t white. And that’s what matters to these chucklefucks. Never mind that they replaced the natives (violently) in the first place.

So really, what they fear is people doing to them what they did to others.

meh, i doubt so. The french has this Zemmour dude that keep bringing this up all the time, i hope they see through it too. For immigrants, France is just a transit zone.

Maybe i am wrong then. Also probably funded by imperialists. Politicians are pointless and will never fight corporate owners for the people. The middle man need to be cut and power should be controlled by the people directly. Retirees were already erased long time ago.

It is of course illegal for employers to hire unlicensed workers below minimum wage. So I guess he is in favor of better enforcement of existing labor laws? Oh wait no, they always claim to side with workers, but in reality extreme right wing is still mostly right wing.

Italy has no minimum wage. The idea is that you get unemployment benefits and just do not take really bad jobs.
