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.

If it was taking 20 seconds, you had something broken. Probably would have been better to get it fixed

Make-believe I wasn't clear enough, it should stay off for longer than 20 seconds but it starts too quickly.

I pull up to a drive through windows at the pharmacy. Engine stops when the vehicle stops. It should then stay off until it reaches the max timer or there is too much draw on the battery for the a/c or heater or something like that.

What happens instead is that it restarts after an inconsistent period of time, might be five seconds or it might be 20 seconds or longer, even if the a/c, radio, and headlights are all off. What it doesn't do is wait for a couple of minutes until I am ready to go.

It is an issue with that specific model, they can't fix it any more than the shitty automatic brights that don't work right. I'm fine with the brights as I prefer to control those manually anyway.
