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.

Truth be told I don't know either, I'm just exhausted by seeing commentors online screeching the same tired screeds "if only the other leftists voted for Kamala" "Kamala supports Israel!!!". Who cares how we got here at this point? If you're not licking the regime's boot they're coming for you eventually. If people are outraged then good, swallow it for now and organize in your communities, get active, coordinate. We'll have plenty of time for purity tests and factionalism when the dust settles.

It matters how we got here because we need to avoid that in the future. In America's dogshit FPTP system, not voting for Kamala was handing Trump a win, so they are just as much at fault as MAGA.
