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.

I wish a kind soul would post the text of the article in the comment section. Can it be the new common courtesy? Like holding the door open, and not shitting on the toilet seat.

This is the Guardian, so there isn't a paywall or anything. In point of fact, you'll find that most links here are either:

  • Not paywalled
  • Use a paywall-bypassing gift link
  • Or include a link to an archived copy of the article

In general, publishers frown on people copy-pasting the article, and it's a recipe for getting a bunch of copyright infringement claims if this community becomes too big.

You right. I'm just wondering how r/animetitties gets away with posting the text of every article for convenience sake...

They're just not well known enough to attract attention yet. There are a few US news outlets which sic lawyers on you for even an archive link.
