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 can't justify breaking the law by claiming it is for the greater good, and blocking traffic is breaking the law. Whether you agree with it or not, this is how the world works. Same applies everywhere. If you have a problem with how a kindergarten works, you don't waltz in there and start blocking toddlers from entering. If you hate the food at a restaurant you don't spit in everyone elses plates. Not only is it illegal, it is detrimental to the message you're trying to spread. Find a different method to make your voice heard instead of being probably the most hated type of illegal protester in the world.

Actually I can justify breaking a law that I find unjust ❤️

Good thing we have a justice system to put people like you in jail then.

Fucking lol, real first world problems over here.

You're saying "it is what it is", but what you're actually saying is this is how it should be while others are arguing it should not.

Change the law and your argument evaporates.
