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.

Exactly. And the bests way to end this one is a prompt surrender by Hamas; that, combined with removing Netanyahu's coalition from power during their next election, would go a long ways creating a situation where people can live together.

Bold of you to think a Hamas surrender could stop a genocide. Even more bold of you to think the problem is just Netanyahu and his coalition.

To be fair they are not really helping either. Remember how the israeli were on the street against the government when this shit happened?

I honestly do not think that is relevant. Yes warfare is polluting but honestly, it's a degree of magnitude less directly awful than massacre.
