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.

The fact that it got this far is appalling. The Trump administration continues its "act now, ask forgiveness later (or just ignore it and start another war to get peoples minds off of it)" policy. They need to be held accountable. Lawsuits need to be filed immediately. There's absolutely no reason for the wasted time, the extra effort needed to "put it back where it was". There's absolutely no administration should pay all fees to put it back, guarantee a very short turnaround, and face fines.

This is only one more in the chain of government over reach that costs the tax payers billions for negative benefit.
