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.

Uh, around three and a half percent or three thousand five houndred percent?

Confused european here.

Edit: guess 3500%

Another China-based firm, Trina Solar, faces tariffs of 375% for the products it makes in Thailand.

3,521%. Don't forget the absurd false precision to make you think this was a number that came about from Very Serious Math.

Our economists determined that eleventy kajillion percent is an appropriate amount according to mathiness and politicolologism.

Their confusion comes from the fact that some countries use the comma like the USA uses the decimal point. So, to be clear, it's 3521%.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah the us and the uk use the full stop as a decimal point, and the comma to separate orders of value if that make sense, so you could also write the figure as 3521%.

The figure written as 3,5% in say France would be written 3.5% in the us and the uk.
