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.

Is it massive enough to be deorbited on top of Mar-a-Lago?

Thanks to all you "enlightened liberals" who refused to vote for Kamala. THIS IS YOUR FAULT. We'll bury you with the republicans

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.

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.

Why is "enlightened liberals" in quotes? I feel like anytime this conversation comes up it's "leftist" or something similar in scare quotes.

Looking forward the Mad Maxy future that's coming up. Where Gasoline and Drinking Water are the primary commodities and no one truly remembers how things were in "the before times" and the "long long ago" (aka a single generation ago).

I love BBQing indoors. Babies taste best. CO and smoke detectors are just alarmist annoying hysteria that my family would use against me to value their lives over baby BBQs. BBQ hating commies in my household should not ruin my freedom with information based logic, and so tools of alarmism must be destroyed.
