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.

You sure are assigning a lot of stuff to me. I am informing protest non-voters what they actually voted for.

Protest non-voters, if all aligning with Kamala, would not have made a difference in the 2024 election.

You informing them does as much good as informing the entire eligible non-voting population. 800k vs 120mn.

There is no need to draw attention to their movement here unless you also take issue with the larger voting block.

Boy more. Don't worry I'm informing protest-non-voters what they voted for for another 3.5 years. Ciao.

Will you inform non-voters as well, for they carry vastly more of the burden than protesters?
