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.

Person 1: You thinking what I'm thinking?

both look at each other and nod and speak at the same time

Person 1: large scale general strikes and protests! Person 2: Nuclear holocaust!

Both: Wait, what did you say?

It will be many more.

Trump likely will die within the next few years, he is a fat Cheeto turd with a heart that pumps more McDonald's grease than blood.

What do you think will happen? It will be a complete shit show with people jumping into the power vacuum, I'm seriously assuming a lot of em will have, shall we say, accidents, or suïcide themselves with three gun shots to the back of their heads.

Either way, whoever is left will take over and I guarantee you, he will not organize elections.

MAGA likely has a contingency plan.
