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.

The US Navy will no longer distribute certain satellite readings, a move that will leave forecasters without important insights into storms’ strength and structure.

What's going on is that the same microwave measuring instruments that are used to track hurricanes also are used to monitor sea ice, and they showed an ongoing loss of sea ice as a result of the warming caused by greenhouse gases that result from fossil fuel consumption. So the Trump administration decided to cut off access to make it harder to monitor sea ice.

Do these assholes think their money and power make them exempt from needing a livable climate?

Yes. They think that it's ok to sacrifice a few billion people to their lifestyle.

Yup. Exactly that. Us poors can work harder to earn enough so that we also can live in nirvana.
