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.

boy I really can't wait for the environmental disaster that it will make when it sinks.

oil spill, battery fire that can't be put out,.... probably rape some fish while it's going down IDK I'm not a shipwreck expert

The battery compartments are built to be removable by the sound of the article, most ships don't sink unexpectedly. I am kinda curious what the environmental impact would be of an electric boat sinking, we sunk a shitload of them intentionally in the past...

Given that the conventional ship it replaces might carry a couple of thousand tons of fuel, that's still a net win.

What chemistry batteries does it use?
