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 understand Peterson better if you remember that he is very Christian. If you believe that God personally looks out for humanity, how could climate change be happening?

He has no authentic religious belief. He's pivoting to religion because of audience capture.

It really doesn't matter what particular delusion he uses to justify being a toxic asshole.

Yeah, he does believe in a Christianity where the main pillar of belief is power and submission. He is just a fascist disguising into whatever he believes will grab the attention of an audience.

Yeah, this is just more of the same bullshit I was raised with. I have so many problems now because my family believes god has a plan, he never gives us more than we can handle, so seeking treatment for injuries means we don't have enough faith. They didn't even take me to a doctor when I dislocated my knee as a teenager, and not only does it still hurt, but it's made other joints hurt too because I walk funny now.

I pray that Saint Luigi will visit some of these groups.

The irony of calling yourself ARC

Of course fucking Scott Morrison was there. Luckily everyone who attended is now dumber for having had to suffer through his presence. We know there's no God because that giant fucking dildo exists.
