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.

What vegan cheese would you recommend? I'm only 90% vegetarian, not vegan, but I'm lactose intolerant so have to buy non-dairy cheese. Many of my dishes end up being vegan because of that.

I used to use Daiya, but unless it's fully melted, the texture is all weird (and it's kind of glue-y). Then I switched to the Simple Truth (not sure if store brand or big brand) and it's been much better.

As a cheese lover who cannot eat it, I'm always on the lookout for the next next best thing.

chao, miyoko, and violife are usually the best. I don't have a favorite yet, but making your own cheese is easy: soak cashews, grind them up, mix in seasonings & refrigerate. alternatively silken tofu or plant milk can be boiled to make cheese as well
