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.

Stop posting the same low effort stuff everywhere. Post on one instance/magazine/community and start an actual discussion. Why are you karma farming? This isn't reddit.

Some people aren't subbed to all communities so there's benefit to reposting the same article to multiple communities.

It's about as effective on Lemmy as taxing private jets is effective on climate change.

I.e. As effective as a fart in a blizzard. The irony of the energy for the cause spent on just this and just here.

Why are you angry someone wants to provide a conversation starter to multiple communities where its relevant? If you see something you've already read and you don't want to read it again it takes less than a second to keep scrolling, or to change the sorting algorithm you're using

Go whine to the devs for including a crosspost functionality.

I checked and I only see one cross post of this article from OP?
