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.

will eliminate trillions of dollars in regulatory costs and “hidden taxes,”

If that is true, then that is eliminating $Ts in GDP. Regulation costs are paid to people to comply with regulations. Make America smoggy again isn't going to be popular, and a clear sign of collapse.

After Chevron agencies no longer have deference. Under the law individuals are allowed to sue for environmental violations. Not just that, but we could poasibly have a new adminiatration in the future which could go back and fine the fuck out of companies and individuals. Plus there's state agencies who will be extra bloodthirsty to make up for federal funding losses. Plus this guy is a limp wristed pussy ass bitch.
