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.

Even if the footprint was about the same, it would still be less animal suffering. And I'm sure the process could be optimized further. But sure buddy, all things not "natural" are creepy. Maybe trash that computer you're using to write this comment while you're at it and go live in a cave again.

Ah, a classic Luddite ad hominem. Show's how weak your argument is.

So for you, this isn't about climate, but animals? Are you an environmentalist or a vegan using climate to push vegan goals?

I see you're even more delusional as your initial comment hinted at. Enjoy your essential oils.

Lol, I hit the nail on the head it seems.

No, you hit your head somewhere too often it seems. Delusional mental gymnastics.
