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.

More of a general journalism minor gripe, but when articles say "X number of states are affected by Y", they should list all of the states.

Best list I can come up with is only 20 states out of the 27 claimed:

  1. Minnesota
  2. Michigan
  3. Wisconsin
  4. Ohio
  5. Indiana
  6. Illinois
  7. Kentucky
  8. Iowa
  9. Missouri
  10. Texas
  11. Oklahoma
  12. Tennessee
  13. Arkansas
  14. Louisiana
  15. Mississippi
  16. North Dakota (Article mentions it, can't tell from the linked status pages)
  17. South Dakota (Article mentions it, can't tell from the linked status pages)
  18. North Carolina (Article mentions it, can't tell from the linked status pages)
  19. South Carolina (Article mentions it, can't tell from the linked status pages)
  20. Florida (Article mentions it, can't tell from the linked status pages)

A mix of democratic and republican states, everyone gets a taste of the lunacy.
