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.

Bird shot works on ducks, maybe it'll work on drones?

I assume both drones and armored humans would both be potential targets if fighting breaks out. If that is the case, I don't want to juggle munitions on the field, so it needs to be deadly against both. 00 Buckshot is what I use for practice because it costs me about $14 a box for 25 rounds. 000 is what I am figuring to use as 'serious' ammo for live combat, but that costs about $10 for 5 shells.

The way I figure, 000 would be able to hit unarmored limbs, and consequently remove combatants from the fight. Dunno if a slug can beat armor, but I am almost certain that my accuracy is too crap to land a slug on a person. I can regularly land hits at 25 meters with a reflex sight, but that is with plentiful time, an immobile target, and no pressure.

Hopefully, if I join a militia, we would be able to hire a Ukranian veteran to instruct people. My guesses about how to prepare for conflict are probably wrong.
