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.

"They go low, We go high" is a fucking stupid appeasement strategy that has just allowed the fascist to take more and more control since Reagan and Nixon. Cut it out with this bullshit.

I was more speaking of the use of the word "retard" and I stand by it.

Attacking the use of an impolite word towards a literal fascist takeover is a distraction tactic that you have fallen for and now use against those who rightfully should be on the same side.

I DEFEND MY RIGHT TO USE ABLEIST SLURS AS GRANTED TO ME BY GOD

-your dumb ass

Is it an ableist slur? I think it mostly just applies to GOP voters and "I'm not voting because perfect is the enemy of good" non-voters.

Yes it is??? Words have meanings???

Go fuck yourself.

Did I use an ableist slur? I don't think I did. And I don't believe in any gods.

I'm saying that if the takeaway from the other user's comment was the word choice rather than the message - this signifies another win for the systems that seek to keep even the tiniest resistance splintered and ineffectual.

[–] KAtieTot@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 day ago

Oh, so it's splintering and ineffectual to call out someone's slur usage, but not to use slurs?

Idk? maybe don't use slurs if you want to garner the support of lefitsts???

OK, my dude. You win. I just dont like that word. Bye
