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.

Feels apt considering the recent election results. Don't let your money fund fossil fuels, use climate conscious banks like Atmos.

That's unfortunate; I've used the same credit union for about 22 years and have never had any issues like you describe at all. My experience has been incredibly smooth and I've never had any issues with availability of funds coming into or out of my account. Hopefully you can find a better one.

I have found another local one with a higher limit, but I don't know if they are as invasive and, frankly judgmental, about it when you need to exceed that.
