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.

Not American, these people don't represent me.

My point is; why are you just now protesting the DNC, now that they are no longer in a position to actually change anything... Voted them out of power, then tell them to fix shit??? You're a bit late.

They've been pressuring Democrats all along. This isn't their first action, and it won't be the last.

They were voted out because they ignore their grass roots at the behest of corporate donors and genocidal maniacs.

Speaking as an American, I'm stunned by the lack of political awareness most of my countrymen display.

Over one million people died under Trump and they voted him back in.

Just a point of clarity here: The Democratic National Committee is NOT the exact same thing as the Democratic parties representatives, although there is a lot of crossover.
