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.

The trees can't be harmed if the lorax is armed. You touch his trees, he aims for your knees.

One can make useful items out of wood.

Can you just find the article about this story that's not published in a corporate paper instead of posting this link?

It doesn't take long to find a better source

Why people link to a paywalled article in the first place boggles my mind. You're not sharing information, you're just advertising the paper for free.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

My best guess is they work for the paper. And we should ban them for advertising

Just wondering, what makes a forest a national forest and does this include trees in national parks or are they protected?

[–] Butterpaderp@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Safe to say, nothing's protected from this admin

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Save a forest, shoot a ...

Wait, where's the line where what I say gets me banned again?

[–] MBech 12 points 1 day ago

In my experience, that line was mostly left over on Reddit.

Is there a list of which forests opened for logging?

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I can't find one, I'd like to see a map but I don't expect there is one.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Probably all of them, start with half then charge more to open the second half.
