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.

I mean I can’t relocate? I’m not chained to a radiator but thanks.

Bro I've met migrants who showed up with worn out shoes and a backpack. I'm not trying to be mean but most people mean won't not can't, you could drop everything and move to another country and get there largely by foot working odd jobs on the way. It being a smart idea is another thing entirely.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You know nothing about me or my situation and I didn’t ask for your input at all.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Clearly that's why I asked a question rather than make an assumption.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I dunno talking about your migrant acquaintance moving with nothing but rags on his feet and a tattered knapsack sounds like you’re about to give me some variation of pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Maybe I was hasty, but all the same I don’t need tips on moving.

I said worn out shoes and a backpack, but your overdramatizing does in fact prove my point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That you don’t know enough about me to be making suggestions on what I’m capable of?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Again, I asked a question. Your vague over dramatic tirade about no one knowing you though no one implied to but rather simply asked a question about it serves to prove my point and imply your circumstances without you actually saying them.

I’m just tired of answering all this nonsense. If you think it’s cool to wish death on people because they fit a certain set of criteria cool. Do it. But don’t get pissy when people start looking for criteria you fit into.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Notice I didn't say anything about any of that. Again, you're being over dramatic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That’s what I was talking about though so fuck off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Misplaced aggression isn't helpful but sure swing at ghosts if it makes you feel better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s not misplaced you’re being irritating as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes it's me that's being irritating, neat.

Is it fucked up to think that Floridians deserve to suffer more from climate change or not? I don’t care if you don’t like my tone. That’s what the heart of these 30 comments has been about. If that’s not what you’re talking about then we don’t need to engage any further because that’s what I’ve been talking about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's not what they're saying. They're saying if you could buy won't you can only blame yourself. Screeching "you don't know me" is not now nor has it ever been a reasonable argument but rather a definite deflection.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I didn’t ask for that input to begin with. Making assumptions about strangers ability to move at will is absurd. And you’re still not answering my question? Is it fucked up or not to think certain groups deserve to suffer the effects of climate change?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then why cry about it in the first fuckin place, you know people are gonna have opinions it's a bit late to provide your own age then cry because other people offer theirs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Still not answering my question.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Crybaby, you don't get to demand my opinion on your question while you bitch and whine about my opinion.

Great advice, you should take it crybaby.
