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.

No. She DID vote exactly for this. She voted for deregulation because all those pesky rules stood in the way of millionaires becoming billionaires. Oh sure, trump lied his ass off at every corner, but this is what Republicans have done for decades now since basically Reagan.

There comes a point where you can't claim ignorance, and if you can, then I'm sorry but if you're so stupid that one wonders how as a baby you found a tit to nurish yourself, then you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

And all this might might might get a little emotion from me if their voting choices only affected themselves but it hasn't, it has affected the whole goddamn world. Their incompetence and hatred for foreigners caused so much shit, suffering and death world wide that I don't have any empathy left for them.

I hope they will find their kids rotting right there so that they finally can see the results of their actions. We have to live with the rotting consequences of their actions, and you want me to feel bad for them? Let them rot in hell, I'm done with them. They fucked the world for their own gains, they made their and everyone else's beds, now lie in it you fuckers.

We need to demand they can't use their fucking lead filled smooth brain to blame anyone else except their own dumb fuck Nazi asses.
