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.

It would be easier to take this seriously if any one that questioned it wasn't bombarded with personal attacks like yours.

This tells me you have made an emotional decision that you have backfilled with science and can therefore be ignored.

Again, claiming that anything you don't like is illogical because emotions are at play is a highly emotionally argument. If you don't think the science is rigorous, show scientific reasons why, because as In sure you are liable to say; the science doesn't care how you feel about it, its either factual or it isn't. You have no contradictory evidence, so you resort to, I feel this must be wrong because I don't like it. That's 100% emotional.

You are adding the emotions to my comments. I don't give a fuck if you choose not to eat meat, you on the other hand have a problem with my choice.

The fact that the article has an agenda does not require me to rigorously dismantle every part of it. The agenda automatically disqualifies the science.

The argument you're using is the same one that religious people use where they demand atheists disprove the existence of god and claim atheism is a religion.
