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.

This is what I got. Pay or give up your privacy.

I understand they use adverts, but that doesn't mean they need to know everything about me.

As DuckDuckGo put it, they display adverts by displaying relevant ads based on searches. You searched for a car? They display car adverts. You searched for a book? They display adverts for a new novel.

They don't need a track of and psychological analysis of every person's habits.

Wow. I wonder if that's only being rolled out in the UK at the moment? Definitely don't get it here in Australia.

Maybe. They initially did it just in the app, so I removed it. But now it's via browser as well.

Yeah I can't imagine I would have hit accept myself but can't think of any other reason I'm not seeing that. Definitely not getting any argument from me about tracking though - I don't know why anyone is okay with it.
