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.

Well we’re risk at of going off track here, because we are talking about trade and economics being possible, with people who have different politics. Which it was.

It was, yes, but only insofar as they could stay out of each other's business. Russia invading Ukraine made their politics Western Europe's business, is what I'm trying to say. From that point they could either do nothing or act against Russia, and they judged it in their best interests to do the latter.

America has never liked the idea of the EU because it loosen their control.

Are you sure about that? If I'm not wrong America welcomed the EU because it reduced the chance of another war between Western European powers.

The Ukraine war is perfect for them, because they are making bank off of weapons and energy sales, have nothing at risk and sees Europe and Russia weakened.

Yeah that's fair.
