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 is truly absurd. The media (especially cheap anger tabloids) are making them out to be villains to the point they are being attacked.

Since I deal with absurdness by laughing, I want to share a funny article with you a satirical press wrote about this (climate activists being called criminal organisation and treated like terrorists). It‘s in German, but I will translate to make it easier.

Title: "Another Last Generation terrorist attack: 34 light and 5 severely delayed"

Berlin (dpo) - The terrorist organization Last Generation has struck again: In a serious attack on road traffic, 34 people were slightly delayed and 5 severely delayed in Berlin today. Only through courageous intervention by the police could worse delays be prevented.

Around 9 o'clock in the morning, the terrorists launched their cowardly attack by sticking themselves to a pedestrian crossing in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Their unsuspecting victims had no chance: Within seconds they were stuck in a traffic jam that got worse every minute.

"I can never get these pictures out of my head again," describes a still visibly shocked eyewitness. "It was terrible! Everywhere the bright red heads of the late ones. When I close my eyes, I still hear their angry screams."

Only after 15 agonizing minutes does the police finally arrive. The officials manage to remove the extremists from the road with the help of solvents and with the courageous use of pain attacks. "Fortunately, I was still able to twist the wrist of a terrorist while carrying her away," reports a policeman. "I can't imagine what would have happened if I had just carried her off the street normally!"

In the meantime, a crowd has gathered at the crime scene, which commemorates the late. Wreaths are laid down, songs are occasionally sounded. They are pictures that were no longer thought possible in Germany - pictures from a country heavily marked by climate terrorism.
