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.

Yes, this means a ton of carbon ends up in the atmosphere instead of in the trees. The right move would be thinning and prescribed burns, but this administration isn't going to do that.

No one asked for yours anyway.

And who asked for yours? Are you just special?

And are you mislabeling it as 'small minded' bcs it's directly confronting your hypocrisy?

LOL, I'm not an American.

Looks like you've got a case of the projections.

ROFLMAO I can't even, ZERO self awareness with this bloke.

imagine feeling the need to get involved when you have no skin in the game

how about you watch your people get fucked a few generations and while it’s going on this moment people are complaining about your response over their hypocrisy

We all have skin in the game when the world's largest economy begins to implode due to the ignorance, apathy, and general incompetence of its citizenry.

I too predicate my responses on baseless assumptions about others. I'd explain how your comment doesn't apply in the slightest, but there's no use conversing with those who don't care if their responses are based on reality, simply that they sound "hard truthy". They'll just make more things up!
