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:

The verdict is a so-called lay judge verdict, where the court's chairman and a lay judge wanted to convict. The man's lawyer, Linus Gardell, calls the verdict historic.

This is the first verdict that addresses the question of the acute climate crisis where the District Court fully acquits a person with reference to the provisions on self-defense, he says.

Another climate activist was previously convicted of the same crime in the District Court but avoided punishment with reference to having acted to protect the climate, so-called penalty waiver. However, that decision was overturned by the Court of Appeal, which convicted the activist to pay a fine. featured
