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:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Yeah, this is honestly god tier
What happened in the 80s? Seems the temps were all sorta within a pretty standard deviation until then.
Who left their heater running?
Iirc, if you're 60 today, around 75% of human CO2e emissions were created during your life time. The number may be a little off, but the point is: since emissions have steadily increased, it's very likely that the majority of emissions were emitted during your life time. Which also explains why shit is getting crazier very right now, as emissions are on a level never seen before and still rising.
But the rising is slowing down! Yes we're still emitting more and more everyday, we're atleast emitting less more
This is why I think we need to have global battle Royales. Thin the herd. Keep the population lower so we don't have to work the earth as much.
Maybe a nuclear war and the following nuclear winter would be a good reset for ol mother nature lol.
You first.
.... You want me to nuke first? Or were you saying me first to the battle Royale thing? Because I think you need more than one person for it to be a battle Royale. I was thinking we group people into random groups of like 10 people each. Then they fight to the death. The survivor gets to live.
We would need to split the genders so we don't end up with a planet of exclusively jacked dudes. After than we drop from from 8 billion people to 800 million. Now everyone has for sure got a house. We got plenty of food for everyone. Everyone definitely gonna need a job.
Guys I think I just fixed everything.
Nono. He is saying you should eliminate yourself first from the equation.
Well aren't you guys just a bundle of joy
What, its only okay if other people die first? Whenever some advocates for "thinning the herd", they should always start with themselves :)
I never said I wouldn't participate in the battle Royale. I'm a big advocate for practicing what you preach.
I either get to live in my new paradise or I'm dead and it's no longer my problem. Win win.
Nono, i am adressing the reason for the battle royale. People who are obsessed with overpopulation should really start with themselves :)
A bird flu pandemic would do that too. Without ruining the environment.
Yeah but where's the fun in that.
No need for nuclear war. Looks like Captain Trips is being brewed in the US bird/cattle/human populations at the moment. M-O-O-N spells pandemic.
De-growth in general would save us without population decline but the world economies collapse when there's de-growth.
Population is not even the issue here. We are capable of sustaining the amount of people we have we just refuse to do so efficiently because it benefits rich people.
That's when dad's started yelling a little bit less at kids leaving the doors open in the winter. It's really gotten out of control since then. Between this and light switches being left on with a thorough shouting, modern Dads are pretty much to blame and not spanking children probably has something to do with it too.
Global temperature seems to be (put on sunglasses) spiraling out of control.

Someone download this before they memoryhole it
I don't want to watch this
Not anymore
I've carefully watched this for decades
I've urged everyone to take action
I've carefully separated my garbage
For decades
And nobody cared, nobody cares
Then comes in trump who just waltzes over everything and aims course straight for hell
Let the world burn, I don't want to one about it anymore, I'm done, I'm burned out, nobody who can make a difference gives a shit.
Unless tomorrow all the rich and powerful in the entire world disappear, nothing will change, so I'm just going to sit here, enjoy the sunset while we still have fresh water and food and I fully expect most or all of humanity to be gone within 50 years
Why not go out doing something exciting at least?
It's easy to make statements like that before desperation sets in. Starving is an awful way to die, death after nuclear fallout is excruciating and slow, you won't enjoy any sunsets when the smoke from burning cities fills up the sky.
50 years from now when you're freezing in a cold muddy ditch, you'll be wishing you died a martyr taking the 1/1e10000 chance to fix it.
Edit: I'm legally required to clarify that martyrdom can result from non-violent acts 🙂
See, I used to remember being able to go outside and play during the summer when I was a kid. Now days it seems like of you dare go outside in the summer you'll be a puddle of sweat within 30mins.
„Climate has always been changing”
We already hit the +1.5 the last couple years, and it's growing from there
I wonder how long until this gets taken down
Death spirals go out now. Neat. At least we'll go extinct with some cool graphics.
