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.

Everyone is focusing on musk, not realizing he's trumps patsy. He's the goddamn fall guy. He said some true, but unkind, things about trump and trump doesn't forget slights. If this charade starts to crumble, he's going to point at musk and blame him for everything.

That's just untrue. They believe they're each others' fall guy. In reality Trump is owned by Russia (not exaggerating, look up "American Kompromat"), and Vance is owned by Peter Thiel. We can only hope that Trump's pettiness and Musk's ego can cause this whole house of cards to implode before they completely dismantle American institutions.

I think they have other fall guys lined up. Trump seems barely coherent enough to run for office, musk is pulling trump's strings

They're both more than dumb enough to believe that the other one is their patsy without realising they're really both Putin's puppets.

It would be kind of tragicomic if they weren't fucking up the world in the process.
