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.

Did you finish watching that video?

It has independent rear wheel steering.
That's the rear wheels turning in, because they're meant to pivot.

I don't care, that's still broken. The inertia from a sudden hard impact should not cause a non-impacted wheel to either move or even suddenly 'steer' for any reason.

Yes I totally get that these are extreme forces in question, but the parts and suspension system should be built stronger than that, where inertia alone won't cause damage to non-impacted parts on the opposite end of the vehicle.
