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.

Looking forward the Mad Maxy future that's coming up. Where Gasoline and Drinking Water are the primary commodities and no one truly remembers how things were in "the before times" and the "long long ago" (aka a single generation ago).

I love BBQing indoors. Babies taste best. CO and smoke detectors are just alarmist annoying hysteria that my family would use against me to value their lives over baby BBQs. BBQ hating commies in my household should not ruin my freedom with information based logic, and so tools of alarmism must be destroyed.

Maybe they can fake this somewhat convincingly, since Trump and his cabinet are a bunch of fucking retards.
