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.

here's translated text i unfortunately had to use ai for: Nothing throws Scherb off balance anymore. He has been at the helm of the family business for five years and has experienced everything from the pandemic to wars, supply chain problems, energy crises, and inflation. "That won't change anymore. We have to learn to deal with these extreme situations. Hoping for a return to the old normal won't get us anywhere.

I find the beginning of the text carries more information (translated with DeepL, I don't see heavy errors):

"Chocolate bunny in danger", warned the WWF before Easter, drawing attention to the growing cocoa shortage, which is also affecting food manufacturer Spitz from Attnang-Puchheim.

"We are currently struggling through the worst cocoa bean harvest of all time, which is relevant for cocoa powder and chocolate, for example," confirms Managing Director Walter Scherb.

Global warming, distortions and poor harvests have led to the situation. "It was actually foreseeable for some time that something could happen, because global cocoa stocks have been falling since the early 1990s. In combination with a poor harvest, a crisis suddenly arises," says the 34-year-old. Spitz has also responded by setting up an internal emergency response team.
