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.

There are three kinds of violence.

The first, the mother of all others, is institutional violence, the kind that legalizes and perpetuates domination, oppression and exploitation, the kind that crushes and crushes millions of people in its silent, well-oiled machinery.

The second is revolutionary violence, born of the desire to abolish the first.

The third is repressive violence, whose aim is to stifle the second by becoming the auxiliary and accomplice of the first violence, the one that engenders all the others.

There is no greater hypocrisy than to call only the second violence, pretending to forget the first, which gives birth to it, and the third, which kills it."

This is a summary of an idea developed by Helder Camara
