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.

How is it false solidarity to acknowledge that the climate crisis affects everybody?

How does dividing up everybody into little groups, how does creating all of this conflict help anybody?

How does it do anything but make you feel better about your own sense of identity?

How is it anything but a bunch of circle jerking?

Because it sure as shit isn’t fixing the climate to tell me how much better you are than everyone else

Maybe... maybe the article has the answers to your questions?

If you can’t even defend your own position, then why bother arguing it at all?

At this point, you’re just parroting something someone else told you. It doesn’t come off as even the slightest bit sincere— or even that you convincingly understood it in the first place.

Reported for bad faith argument/trolling.

Pointing out that your logic is fundamentally flawed, and that you can’t even defend your own argument is “bad faith”?

Isn’t that what Trump does when he hears something he doesn’t like? Blame everyone else?

What side are you on anyway?
