Definitely a classic. Follows closely what's in the academic literature

(note that this graph changes x-scale for the past 1000 years)

Reminder that this was made in 2016 and we are already around +1°C global average. We are welll past best case scenario already

When the ocean start boiling, then we'll deal with it. We will do so by having a conference in Geneva that state leaders fly private jets to, that'll help.

Some days ago a close one whom I usually agree with politically said "climate has always had variations" and "they can’t guess the weather correctly for next week, so how can they predict it for in 50 years". I’ll send them this cartoon tonight I think.

"Last North American Pokemon goes instinct" - had a good chuckle at that.

Seriously though, humanity should get it's head screwed on straight. This is going way too fast for evolution to cope with.

Let's make our language heavily inflected, so future students have to memorize a zillion of verb endings!

Killed me 😂 The message is really alarming but that little humorous detail made my day.

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.
