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.

Norway

Holy shit, that's some impressive conservative bullshit!

Breivik is OPENLY a 'Cultural' Christian, he made his reasons very clear. He wrote a damn manifesto, here's an analysis of it:

Christian Terror in Europe? The Bible in Anders Behring Breivik’s Manifesto

In the attempts to understand the ideology underpinning the terror attack in Norway 22nd July 2011, and the growth of far-right extremism in Europe more generally, Christianity and the uses of the Bible are a largely neglected feature. In this article, I examine the way in which the Bible is used in Anders Behring Breivik’s manifesto, arguing that this provides an important example of the role of Christianity in far-right discourse. I show that the Bible functions as a legitimating device, glossing violence as defense of a Christian Europe; as a motivational instrument, positing God as a fellow fighter; and, as an origin for Europe. The Bible is situated in a pre-modern state where its signifying powers are policed. At the same time, it is wrenched out of this solidified framework, cut up and pasted into the manifesto hypertext in order to serve as a contemporary ally to an anti-Muslim and anti-multicultural cause.

This is right up Jordan Peterson's alley.

My mate has signed up for the 'university', cost him like 600$ for access to the courses... Kinda given up on him, he's drunk the flavor aid of the "woke cancel-culture is ruining the world" bullshit.

Start? That's what Donald Trump did in the office. And technically has been happening long before that, just not that brazingly.

The only reason I glanced at the article was to check whether any real platform was hosting his lessons.

Dear reader, I am happily able to report he is fully self published online.

It’s not surprising to see a man funded by big oil and other anti-progressive establishments peddling bullshit that teaches people how to be complacent idiots that punch down at the poor, non-Christian, and trans communities.

The Wilks brothers are huge investors/funders of PragerU, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz’s 2016 campaign, and are the reason The Daily Wire even exists. Jordan Peterson is now on their payroll.

Quick, grab a buzzword out of the hat, I require a message!

How could one compare the two? They are so different. Climate activists are dangerous criminals that must be stopped at all cost, even if that includes criminalising carrying glue in public. Mass shooters on the other hand are just a fact of life. How would we even try to stop them? By criminalising carrying a firearm in public?

You just compared them, shh don't let the media write a hit piece on you!
