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.

Jesus dude. You have agreeable points of view and then just destroy and legitimacy and sway you may have had with the playground insults. Maybe try and class up your language and people will listen to you more often. I know it's the Internet but damn.

Cunt is perfectly acceptable in Australia and even the UK. We don't need to be so offended by words with little power.

Cunt is not perfectly acceptable in Australia or the UK. It's used more commonly and is acceptable in certain situations. Here it is being used in a derogatory, sexist way. That's not acceptable in either. You need to spend time off the Internet, in the real world.

In the US, if you don't want to agree with someone, you don't attack their points, you attack them personally. That way you don't have to argue against the points and can distract the focus of the conversation altogether.

And I did both. If you’re offended by it then go cry about it just like the cunt swifty. I couldn’t care less if you have an issue with it. Neither do i care about the other complainers.

If all you can focus on is my usage of the word cunt then as far I care that is a YOU problem.
