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.

The pronoun thing would be a healthy thing to drop. It literally creates division, which is something we need less of.

Bro, shut the fuck up. We do not cater to fascists here. We do not encourage people to roll over to their demands. You do not win social battles by being a weak, capitulating piece of shit.

Support your fellow humans. Don't throw them under the bus when it's convenient.

Its been a hot aminute since I've seen someone say something so stupid.

The ones who are causing the divide are the ones whom boots you are licking.

You cannot join hands with fascists. Ever. For any reason. It's a completely braindead move, look at history

Joining hands with fascists is empowering them and volunteering yourself as the next enemy. They'll turn on you long before they finish with their current enemy

You're right, all gendered pronouns should be abolished. Everyone is a 'they' from now on since division must be avoided at all costs.
