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.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 days ago

Would be a shame if his plane crashed.

I hope he gets snatched up and deported to Eritrea.

That'll fly like a lead brick.

I'm sure they'll roll out the red carpet for him in Hungary. Then again, our Fotzenfritz (German chancellor) is very much a fossil fuel lobbyist.

Now, um, my German is admittedly a little rusty, but, ah, "fotzenfritz" is surely not an official title, right? Right?

No, it's a nickname he has more than earned though (It means Cunt-Fritz). Among other things, he is known for voting against making rape in a marriage punishable by law in 1997.

Sounds like a real piece of work that one. Maybe somebody should request a wellness check of his wife, you know, just in case.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

She's never seen in public. Maybe someone should check his basement.

Nice try, but if you wanted me to help spread it around, you need only ask :)

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's Herr Fotzenfritz to you!

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh, very well. Best keep politics polite, I suppose.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

That's the spirit!
