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.

Humans apparently want to suffer, based on the decisions we are making lately. :/

Humans don't want to suffer which is why they won't change their habits. To be fair with the amount of money used to back misinformation campaigns and capitalistic slogans like "treat yourself" is it really surprising things go this way?

nah, they can just profit off of it.

Nah, we as a species have decided to stop wars and solve world hunger by using a clever trick the scientists don’t want us to know. Did you know that you can do all that and more by reducing the population to approximately zero. All you have to do is dive head first into the climate disaster and embrace the destruction. If the world is on fire, there will be no one left to fight wars with. If there are no people, there is no hunger.
