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.

“I just wanted to make sure that with the movie, we don’t ever feel like [it] is putting forward any message,” director Lee Isaac Chung, who grew up in Oklahoma’s tornado belt, [told CNN] “I just don’t feel like films are meant to be message-oriented.”

I’m sure his parents are thrilled to have raised an artist who is proudly devoid of substance. /s

You joke, but probably. That's how you get people producing the sorts of propaganda that works best for conservatives. Its not about anything, its about how just checking out and going along with it is fine. And there's a ton of parents right now who really believe you can tell the story of humanity without telling about hierarchy, slavery, genocide, and war

Reminds me of watching some behind the scenes stuff for the film Event Horizon. The director could barely stay in his seat he was so excited that they had had the brilliant idea to 3D scan the interior of Notre Dame cathedral and use that as their spaceship interior. Dude was over the moon. All I could think was, “Yeah, nice job. Way better than designing something original. Truly you are a paragon of the craft, good sir.”
