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 had the argument with my sister that meat and dairy is too cheap. She looked at me like she tried to kill me. I pay 3 times as much for oar milk as she does for regular milk. Milk, the thing you beed a cow for, go through all kinds of machines, labour testing whatever. Compared to basically water and oat. The dried meat she buys is cheaper by a good bit than the dried beets that i buy. I wanna see people shit their pants when a steak is 50 bucks while whatever the plant based alternative is a dollar.
