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.

Responding to a 45 minute video 11 minutes after it’s posted? Try watching it and see how many people DO care, and how many global organizations are collaborating to urgently address reef health.

You can also volunteer or donate at https://coral.org/en/

Or, ya know, remain ignorant and removed about it.

Yeah that is not what I meant.

Governments will not do anything that will permanently fix this problem because it would entail levels that require world wide cooperation to be able to pull it off.

We can't even get our own governments to do a small part to save this planet, I am not holding my breath for anything more than some bandages for the bleeding.

Not being conspiratorial, simply observing that no real effort has been made on way too many issues
