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.

Time for journalists to freelance as financial analysts then...the CFA isn't mandatory, technically anyone can do it, even journalists

More leeway for them to fabricate/lie for their selfish narratives. Smh.

Sounds to me like they are wanting to hide something, I already refuse to get anything from Shell after I stopped at one in Tennessee and the bitch of an owner wouldn't let me use the single toilet stall because the men's room was busted and I have a penis. I told her it made no sense. Complained to corporate and they essentially said since they are privately owned they can do what they want. Also the Google reviews all say she is crazy.
