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.

Man I love how you guys put on the same level 'pushing kids' and eating meat.

And then you call me for having bad takes lmao

It's ok my dude eat your beans, save the planet is thankful for your sacrifice.

I will, I'll also throw my trash in the trashcan, not because the planets going to thank me, but because I care for my environment, I hope you do as well

As for the child thing, I don't see how you can say this or this is less cruel then pushing over children, unless you have no sympathy for animals. If that's the case you shouldn't be around pets, or even kids for that matter, hell just stay away from people in general.

Wow you're such a good little boy I bet you even separate the plastic lid from milk cartons. Your masters must be making so much money off of your free labor. Heck did I say free? You most likely live in an area where you pay to have someone take your sorted recycling so they can sell it for more money.

Also, I'm not concerned by your shock videos because I don't consume inferior quality factory meat.
