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.

This article is ILLEGAL in the FREEDOM STATE of Florida because it has the words Climate Change!

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Oof, can you imagine being so FREE that all things that trigger conservatives are ILLEGAL? Read the constitution, it’s in there!

What climate change?

It’s been banned in Florida, so the problem is solved.

"we fixed the glitch and the problem will work itself out"

Well, it certainly can't be climate change, somebody must be letting the air out underneath...

It is the turtles, the ones holding up the flat earth, they are leaving one by one thereby sinking Florida

If only they had some type of warning

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

Is insurance companies bailing on your state, a type of warning?

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 6 points 5 months ago

Well jeez, this information has only been known for over 100 years. What did you expect them to do?!

Or, more accurately, what did you expect the capitalists to do? Make less money for a time while they figured out different means of generating electricity? But think of the coal barons and the oil barons and the natural gas barons and the transportation barons!

THINK OF THE BARONS!

And if only they actually did something about it when they received the warnings.

“Rain bombs” such as Invest 90L are products of our hotter world; warmer air has more room between its molecules for moisture.

Lmao, did nobody review this?

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Clap them molecules

[–] czech@lemm.ee 9 points 5 months ago

I wonder how they will pin this on democrats.

It'll be just like that movie Reminiscence where they get around Miami by boat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reminiscence_(2021_film)#Plot
