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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Doesnt really matter whos right in theory, because nothing of the sort will happen as long as fasco-capitalism rules the earth.
Exactly
Without overthrowing global capitalism, we will absolutely not slow this roll in any meaningful way. Every time someone passes a good law somewhere else a company just ignores it. And so on.
We've fucked it. The time to take this seriously was 30, 40 years ago. But PEOPLE IN POWER made sure that climate change was a hoax to half the population so they could keep getting rich. And its been that way since.
Nothing has changed. Nothing. Every month I see widely respected science reporting telling us "oh NO, its much worse than we thought." Read the actual reporting and tell me, are we doing better? Isn't AMOC about to collapse no matter what?
Dont get me wrong, I love nature and intend to fight for it every chance I've got anyway. Im on the side of life, here.
But im gonna lose.
Hope is a lie. We don't get to hope anymore. What we need is determination.
Edit: cowards.
Yall just don't get it. Do all you want, the US Navy ALONE does enough damage every year to doom us all. Are we gonna stop all shipping? Or are we gonna keep doing damage for the next 5-10 years as tipping points get passed? These are self-perpetuating problems, once crossed.
Right now, RIGHT NOW, our world is being murdered. Some life will continue. But we are fucked.
Ok cool, looks like we should all just commit suicide right now then.
Come on then fellow doomers, let's all hold hands and fling ourselves off the nearest cliff.
Is that your response to existential crisis? It's not mine.
Grow up.
But yours is just to whinge about "there's nothing we can do" and yet you tell me to grow up.
Piss off you emotional vampire.
No, mine is to acknowledge were losing and do it anyway.
read, dumbass
Fair enough, we're on the same page then, mea culpa.
My apologies, shit day at work and made two mistakes:
I retract what I said entirely.
All good 💜 happens to me all the time, I get it
