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.

I cant blame the director for following up on what they were paid to look after as they can't exactly encourage the behaviour. To be honest this is the best option all around - and hey, if you (the director) expect climate activists to stay on social media and be ignored you should probably stick with doing the same.

Nah, we can definitely blame them.

If they can't handle some true words being said on their event because they care more about their customers (and by extension their money) than humanity, then that is on them.

Sorry, can't agree.

I don't want climate activists crashing my wedding, nor do I have to be ok with it.
