IMHO, probably not; musk seems interested in his own finances, and on pitting people against minorities so that they don't see him stealing from them.

Yes. Musk will stop believing in global warming because he’s Trump's bitch.

the only difference between a billionaire who believes in climate change and one who doesn't is that one of them is gonna spend more on a sweet apocalypse bunker with gold plated slurpee machines. neither would do anything about it if it hurt their bottom line.

Can people please stop saying “believe “ in climate change.

You either understand it or you don’t .

Musk will simply change his opinion. He'll come up with some pseudoscientific wording while he does it, and his little minions will gobble it all up and call him a genius. Then they'll start spewing some tired talking point with a Musky spin, and it'll spread like the virus it is.

Musk believes in it, but has no interest in ameliorating it. His plan is 'find a new planet'

Also, Musk seems to be relying on not addressing global warming to accelerate his ambition of colonising Mars.

Oh don't worry, Musk will see the light now that he's found his one true god.

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.
