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.

At first my brain processed the images as if the riverbed was a bunch of grey rocks, but it's actually dead fish floating.
That smell must be something.

Ah, the city of Volos, who elected the same mayor three times in a row.

The mayor, Achileas Beos, of course denied any responsibility and blamed everyone else.

He's also a nightclubs owner and sports team owner convicted and jailed for setting up match results for betting schemes, has publicly beat up a bunch of people and threatened to beat up a bunch more and when confronted about it by the media said "So what, you want us to behave like fa***ts?".

Last year, under the same guy's watch, there was a massive flood and the response to it was abysmal, he did the same thing, blamed everyone and yet people of Volos still support him. If the election was today he'd still mayor tomorrow.

Greece will be greecing forever more
