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.

If you’re going to try to get people to vote for her, do yourself a favor and stop misrepresenting her plans. People generally don’t continue to listen to people who compromised their own integrity to manipulate them.

edit: like the person in this comment section who wants to pretend Kamala is using reverse psychology despite a decade-long career of pandering and unfettered support for corporatism. We're in a sham system, ladies and gentleman. Stop standing up and making yourself look like a fool or even a liar, pretending either side of this two party false dichotomy has even an inkling or conscience about what the voting public actually want. We never even had a say in the matter. To feign otherwise is the act of a class traitor.
