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.

"Those people that shit everywhere are wrong.
Specially due to their ["put personal prejudices here"].

I do also think that I, ME, and MYSELF, deserve to shit everywhere, at anytime all at once, all i want, because im special due to ["put personal prejudices here"]...by the way....why is the world full of shit?"

Maybe....just maybe...if we stopped shiting everywhere....

With that mentality, how do you view corrupt politicians and entrepreneurs?
Do you bash politicians taking bribes?
If so, why? They are doing what you want to do....being shity.
