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.

Sure, Biden’s climate policy could be better, but consider what a second Trump term would be like (www.motherjones.com)

  1. Genocide in Gaza.

Really don't have to keep giving reasons for not voting for Biden after that. That is a full-stop so not vote for this guy type of thing.

You do realize that Joe Biden isn't president of Israel?

You do realize we are supplying weapons for Israel to continue its genocide, right?

You do realize we sell weapons to most of the world? Is Joe responsible for every gun fired ever?

I don't even know why I'm engaging with this, you're clearly either a troll or a bad faith actor.

Keep with the absurd arguments. 👍

So you'll vote for trump, who will worsen the outlook in Palestine and Gaza in LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE WAY he can?

Biden's fighting with Bibi, trump will encourage him. It's not the binary you think it is.

No, you dumbass, I will not vote for Trump. Is reading comprehension entirely gone? Tell me where I said I was going to vote for Trump.

It is possible to vote for someone else.

Biden is fighting Bibi is patiently untrue. The weapons keep getting sent.
