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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
Note: a big part of this has been the conversion of soybean oil into diesel fuel. A large fraction of US soybean oil production is now burned, which will limit how much this can scale further
Greenwashing. Driving your pickup truck to buy a Starbucks still isn't okay even if you've ravaged land to grow food that nobody can eat rather than burning fossil reserves
How much "lower carbon" is the soybean biofuel compared to standard Diesel petroleum?
The carbon in the fuel is derived from photosynthesis, so it doesn't add CO2 to the atmosphere. It's blended into a mostly-fossil blend, so the impact has been a roughly 12% emissions cut
