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.

It's a gift link. Unless you've disabled all cookies or something, you won't hit a paywall. You will need to dismiss a pop-up about a change to their terms and (optionally) collapse a notification that it's a gift link at the bottom of the screen.

I will not post the full content of articles as it tends to attract copyright lawyers.

I did not know that. So we shouldn’t use archive links? Geez, who knew the end of the world would be paywalled.

Archive links are fine with a handful of exceptions (The San Francisco Chronicle sends lawyers after people who post links to archived copies of their articles)

Just don't post the actual content itself. And I don't post archive links when I have a gift link.

Oh I didn’t know of those exceptions. Do you know of any others so I, among others, need to keep in mind when we post/use bots for archive links?

What do/can journals like SF Chronicle do to people anyway, especially on sites like Lemmy or Reddit where users are technically semi-anonymous?

They can ask the folks hosting you for your address and then ask your ISP for your info.

They can get the instance you used to take content down and push to get the instance taken down.

The SF chronicle is the one I've run into, but there are likely others
