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.

Oh what rubbish, and so much of it too. Where to start? An uncontrolled nuclear reaction vs controlling a sustained plasma reaction with electromagnets or crazy lasers? You gtfo with that absolute crap comparison. 70 years, lol, yeah 70 years of tangentially related technological development. It was a very cute attempt at using my own example against me.
Then you really broke down the carbon capture and storage bit into its itty bitty steps to make it sound soooooo big and impossible. You're a master of disingenuous rhetoric. Here's a source with the opinions of several scientists discussing the topic. They make it sound hard, but not impossible to do.
You've ended two comments on "transform society of go extinct" or something to that effect. You seem very invested in the other side of this supposedly impossible problem we have. Perhaps you should open up to the possibility of compromise, cuz I wager we're going to get a bit of societal transformation and a bit of CO2 capture. It's not going to be all one or the other.
Lastly, you'll get a lot further with people when you use honey instead of vinegar.
Nature is a paywalled journal and I'm not going to spend money to be proven right when the headline says it all: Climate experts are divided over whether CDR is a necessary requirement or a dangerous distraction from limiting emissions.
Why do you think that division exists? Because scientists can be bought out by industry interests. One side understands the problem and the other side is saying whatever's needed to get a paycheck.
We're past honey or vinegar. The only honey in this situation is to ignore the problems and keep living our normal comfortable lives until everything irrecoverably falls apart around us.
If you've chosen honey you've chosen extinction.
Omg you. "I'm not going to read it and the scientists that disagree with me are bought and paid for."
If you have access to the journal then share the information that supports the case you're trying to make.
If you don't have access and won't share anything that actually supports your case then you're just talking out of your ass and deflecting.
