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.

You might run into a lot of Boba shops in your quest for local loose leaf, assuming you're in the US.

I'd recommend checking shopping malls in your area first, I've had the best luck with that. There's one in our area that will even let you make your own blend by request! They keep big bins in the back.

Other places to check might include:

  • Local specialty coffee shops, funnily enough
  • Flower shops! I've found surprisingly quality teas that went over really well when bundled in a gift basket for galentine's day :)

e: Also, anime conventions and/or comic-cons! We went to one on a whim and found some of the most fun and flavorful DND-themed blends at a stand from Dryad Teas in the merch area. A most pleasant surprise to be sure!
