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.

At some point, all one can do is laugh.

Whaaaaat...?

The party who put a coal lobbyist in charge of the EPA for Trump's entire previous term did this...?

Nooooo.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

[–] torch_and_blanket@sopuli.xyz 8 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Oh, no doubt, but a worse foe lurks! Some people voted for Donald Trump.

[–] houseofleft@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I totally feel this frustration, and I'm not US so it's kinda not my business, but I don't buy this argument.

Trump America is a horror show, for sure. But the status quo before Trump is also the foundations that allowed America to become a new facist state. Any real solutions need to be bigger than what middle of the road Democrats are offering.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't vote against Trump. But the system is clearly broken, stop blaming victims of it, and start blaming its perpetrators.

Status quo of Biden implementing Green energy, EVs, build back better, PACT act, chips act, student debt relief, Obama's healthcare. And you're equating this to .... status quo.... , and .... a foundation of a fascist state. ........

[–] houseofleft@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I'm 100% not equating Biden with Trump. I'm not trying to deny the comolete horror Trump is afflicting of US and non-US citizens right now.

I'm just saying, he's a symptom of a broken system. America will only come out of this situation if it recognises that it needs to make real and lasting change.

The non voters might not help, but they're at least acknowledging this reality. And putting them in the same camp as literal facists is not helping anyone.

I agree at this point they need to storm the white house, jail everyone, burn down the white house and constitution and start over.

Ha ha but You voted for Genocide!

/s

[–] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

So did the protest non-voters, even moreso than the Democrat ones.

The non-genocide position was literally impossible to express no matter what you tried to do.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

No it existed. Harris is on record saying she'd like to work towards peace talks.

Which is objectively better than option B: vote GOP "finish them off" and option C: literally doing nothing.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Okay, fine: to the extent that a non-genocide position existed, Harris was it.

But the real point is that even if a person disagrees with you about that, they still should've voted for Harris. She was at least objectively not more genocidal than Trump, and infinitely better on basically every other issue.

Protest non-voters accounted for maybe 800k, while RFK accounted for 1.3m.

But sure, let's keep blaming voters instead of the Democrats that chose to represent Republican Liteβ„’.

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Republican lite at this moment sounds a lot more refreshing than Republican nazi

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

No shit. Trump whispered sweet nothings to those outside his MAGAt base by appealing to affordability and peace. Since then, he's followed through on exactly none of that.

In the past, people like Obama at least lied to Americans about what they would deliver as president, while shortly thereafter doing the same as Trump. Democrats in 2024 couldn't even lie their faces off by speaking to the same points as Trump. Well, Kamala did after first when she brought Walz on board, but that quickly changed come the DNC where she said she wouldn't diverge one bit from Biden.

I'm informing protest-non-voters what they actually voted for.

"christians" just do not give a fuck about kids unless they're touching them or oppressing brown ones smfh

[–] sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I appreciate the quotations. Many people do not understand that inherently they have to wear this mask. Christianity was founded on martyrs who died for what they believed. If Jesus only did 2 'exorcisms' and one of them was to inspire mary Magdalene and the other to dissuade Legionnaire propaganda. Hence the Legion story becomes a fascists pig criticism.

Then again, most christians don't even understand how Jesus existed in a post empire world. Or how that empire made him into the depiction of the devil too.

Jewish traditions essentially praise god and then renounce him for one's self journey. This is why you wish to see angels, messengers, and not the god. The powers in place are usually not your ally, but your family and love can help you prevail.

Do not call god by name, respect his power but give no more. This starts to seem as rules for surviving.

They purposely don the name to weaken the capability of people even attempting to unite behind it. Even if Jesus came back.
