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.

It's bullshit like this that really makes me want to give them real reason to fear "ecoterrorists". The main problem is that I lack money to buy an attack helicopter to blow up their mansions, cars, yachts and other shit.

A game like Just Cause where you're supposed to blow up those things would be cathartic as fuck

I don't think endangering people is a good idea.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more infrastructure sabotage from ecoactivists. Train rails out of coal mines and into coal ports seem pretty vulnerable to acts that would reduce the profitability of burning coal.

I don’t think endangering people is a good idea either. That’s why we must end climate change deniers by any means necessary. They are already doing the same to you.
