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.

Man, they buried the answer:
"Across a thousand runs, the model cranked through the temperature data and settled on a year. Sometimes the model spat out later dates. Sometimes earlier. The two scientists made a plot of the numbers and a neat cluster emerged. Yes—2057. But that’s just the middle point: In 95 percent of the model’s simulations, the AMOC tipped sometime between 2025 and 2095."
It was a good read I thought. It seems like these findings went a little viral, for scientific research that is and the author presumed their readers were already aware of the dates, rightly it wrongly.
I appreciate the insight into the work of scientists and the people involved. There should be more of that IMO.
So as soon as tomorrow as late as the next century? Fuck
No, not every year has equal probability. 2057 and the years around then are the most likely.
With a 95% certainty that it'll happen before 2095.
It's possible, but not likely, I'll live to see it happen. 2057 means I'd be 88. Highly unlikely I'll see 88 given my medical and family history.
Say 95% chance I won't live that long. :)
