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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Meh, the whole GOP is a fossel fuel industry plant. Their money is everywhere.
See the TV series, Landman. I like the acting and script, but they preach falsehoods about sustainable energy every episode.
I kind of thought Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm had more spine.
You forgot to mention the Democratic party too
The problem with people from the Democratic party is some believe in a fantasy known as renewable energy.
If God had intended us to gather free energy in the form of solar, wind, geothermal, or tidal then he wouldn't have killed the dinosaurs off so we can suck up their death juices millions of years later and use a complex and dirty process to convert it into energy.
So the fact that dinosaurs existed pretty much disproves most of the liberal and leftist belief system. If you don't believe me, just ask you local fascist paleontologist!
Who is the equivalent to the Koch brothers in the Democrats?
There's corruption, I just don't know who could be compared to the Koch brothers. Like if you look at what they fund, their reach (and as a result, fossil fuel interest) is in just about every well known Republican organization.

What do you mean? The Koch brothers is the equivalent to the Koch brothers for the Democrats.
Koch brother. One died. No one knows because it's impossible to give a shit.
Who has Koch money?
Koch.
So who are the individuals within the democratic party that are taking Koch money? It would be good to know names of who to point the finger at.
Why does it matter? Almost every candidate in the Democratic party are serving the agenda of the Koch by not banning fossil fuels.
Hm, you forgot to mention all 8 billion people on the planet right now are a fossil fuel industry plant. No fossil fuels, no 8 billion people.
Omg it's the guy from the meme
Hm, it's not "participate", it's "makes". No fossil fuels, no 8 billion people. What's so hard to understand? You argue like Charlie Kirk. "I put meme, I is smart". Come on.
You're confusing me with someone who respects your opinion
The fact that the population exploded with massive MASSIVE fossil fuel inputs is not an opinion. And your respect, I couldn't care less about.
