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.

German here. We are 4 to 8 years away from Nazis becoming elected again, at least very likely. I'm looking with horror towards the US and just hope he burns it down so fast that the right shift looses it's current drive in Europe.

Nah, we can't rely on external signals doing anything like that. We need to make peoples lives better. The right surge is an emotional rectioan amplified by external propaganda, but fundamentally people are right to protest against the current system which keeps impoverishing them. The conclusion of voting right wing is wrong of course.

Doesn't work. The more you make people's lives better, the more the far right grifters will bitch about how you are giving handouts to migrants and inviting them here. The best thing you can do is make public advocacy for proto-nazi scum unsafe or impossible. Burn their flags, crash their rallies, slash the tires on their rental trucks.
