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.

If you don't want to be accused of spreading rightoid propaganda, stop spreading rightoid climate defeatist propaganda.

What specifically are you talking about? Accurate descriptions of scientific concensus are not right wing propaganda. For the life of me, I can't find a single right wing outlet that will admit it is as bad as it actually is. Pretending things are not that bad (your position) is the standard right wing position. Your gaslighting will not work on me.

Furthermore, my comment history stops just short of advocating the eradication of conservatives by force. If there is a conservative troll between us, a look at each of our comment histories should clear up which one of us it is.
