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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

I'll never understand the whole assigning blame routine. Blame isn't a solution. It doesn't fix a damn thing to know whose fault it is. If you want to solve the problem, figuring out who to blame is nothing but a waste of time and energy.
That said, you're wrong. There's plenty of people and organizations to blame, from Rupert Murdock to the Heritage Foundation and beyond. Did refusing to vote for Harris help? Of course not. But this didn't fucking start with "enlightened liberals" (which is a complete useless term, btw; why the fuck is everyone got such a hard-on for calling people liberals, anyway?).
Besides, all your doing here is playing into the divisive rhetoric. Our only chance is solidarity amongst the working class, and this bullshit ain't helping. Well, no, I guess if I'm going to be honest here it does help the sociopathic oligarchs maintain control. So congratulations - you're fighting for the wrong fucking side.
Did the guilt of making the objectively wrong choice write this?
You got a counter argument, or are you just gonna pout?
You wrote a paragraph saying assigning blame is bad then spent two paragraphs assigning blame. Figure it out.
Hmmm, obviously there no possible way that was, you know, specifically to demonstrate my point.. Nah!
But, did you read the last paragraph even? Like, what's solidarity and avoiding unnecessary divisive rhetoric for to do with blame, anyway?
Seriously, though, if we all didn't start channeling the rage at the people who are actually destroying things, what's even the point??
Who are you channeling rage at right now?
Proceeds to assign blame:
And then continues to assign blame:
So guess you understand it just fine.
You'll really go to any extent possible to avoid the idea of solidarity, won't you?
So whatever you win I guess? Since that apparently is all you seem to care about, which is just ludicrous and bizarre. So go on with your bad self. Or something?
Weirdo
The say while continuously behaving in a way contrary to solidarity.
Because that's not a paragraph typed out by someone trying to "win" whatever the fuck they think this is. This is one of those "every accusation is a confession" situations.
