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.

That’s like saying “failed alfalfa harvest proves organic farming won’t work”.
How does one leak prove the entire scheme is flawed?
It's more like saying "the Heisenberg exploded, hydrogen blimps won't work"
The Heisenberg exploded because of ruptured bladders and structural cables snapping, among other things. Hydrogen blimps could work - technologically they're still very feasible
But they're too risky to half ass, and their biggest proponents have shown themselves to be incompetent in the face of the engineering challenges involved
It's not just shit technology - it's about execution. If no one can demonstrate good execution, we have nothing. Better ideas have been killed for less... This whole concept is riddled with unsolved problems - it's not feasible with the players on the board
This is too important to fuck around.
Heisenberg exploded? The scientist or the one from Breaking Bad?
Yeah remember when he met Tuco that one time and used exploding meth?
