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.

I have come to the conclusion that Trump is actually an alien. He is helping to prepare our planet for the arrival of his species by ensuring CO2 levels quickly reach a more tolerable level. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

Honestly, I WOULD prefer him to be some kind of alien super agent. It is a lot less depressing than the alternative.

Simulation theory is my reasoning at this point. They're just throwing shit into the simulation now to see what happens. like a wealthy pedophile who can corrupt anything he touches and destroy people's lives as they cheer.

Sadly he's just the product of the american "culture" of selfishness and arrogance. They will destroy the world as we know it.

My conclusion is that he’s the culmination of the US losing the Cold War. Putin has been investing in kompromat on all the red politicians for a long time, and this is the era of profit taking.
