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.

All this is well and good, but I have an idea, with nowhere to go with it.

Anyone know where I can go and what data I can gather if I have a NAS and several terabytes of space that I'm doing nothing with?

Is there a project out there maybe torrenting or something scientific data so that it's everywhere? I've been trying to search and I am at the point that I'm not sure I'm searching for the right thing...

Also might be worth backing up Wikipedia as Musk has been attacking it. Look into Kiwix.

I have been doing kiwix, thanks though!

I'd start at Anna's Archive, I think they index articles as well as books.
