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.

A wake-up call that will be, once again, acknowledged with the snooze button.

Ah yes the COP... The organization that makes important and effective decisions and act on them

Yeah right. The governments and big businesses don't give a shit as long as profits are currently flowing.

Wake up call? For whom? Conservatives are dumb as fuck. They are anti-science, including climate science and meteorology.

If this "wake up call" is for the conservative dipshits here in the U.S., their ringer is turned off. They will never answer. We should encourage them to stay in their shitty red states so they don't pollute the normal states with their bigotry, fascism and idiocy.
