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.

Good.

The green party is not a party for good. Jill Stein has no intention of trying to further the supposed goals of the green party.

Their intention - admitted to, on microphone, at an event, by their own people - is purely to give trump the presidency.

The green party is dogshit.

Weeks ago.

A quote from Sawant at the Stein rally:

We are not in a position to win the White House, but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic. We could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.

Here is the actual Abandon Harris rally if people want to watch it:

To borrow the words of Michael Moore:

  • "They're [arabs] in horrible grief right now. And they're saddled with this awful predicament. And their conscious is not allowing them to put an 'X' next to the woman who has killed their family."
  • "Boy it takes a lot nerve for white people to say that they know better 'they don't understand that Trump's going to be a lot worse for the Arab Americans'... Shut the fuck up."
  • "These are people that have lost relatives. These are people that have lost members of their community. They've been killed by me. Not just Netanyahu. Our tax dollars pay for every god damn bullet and bomb. Every carpet bombing of Gaza you've funded it. I've funded it."

  • This was a Jill Stein rally
  • This speech was to intro Stein
  • This speech would have been reviewed, just like a certain comedian at MSG.
  • Stein agrees with and supports the speech tacitly

You're just apologizing for the Green Party while being OK with them working to get Trump in, who will literally ramp up the genocide.

Pure garbage.
