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.

Micro-forest projects are multiplying throughout cities as a new emblem of ecological design of artificial environments. This emerging form of renaturation is bringing a new public narrative investing the discourse of nature based-solutions and civic participation. In Paris, the first micro-forest proposal was carried and implemented by a civic group with the technical and financial support of the municipality. This article analyzes the governance of this nature-based solution through its coproduction, identifying its achievement and challenges on several pilot sites. The analysis shows how a new public narrative is being built from a civic experimentation, while obscuring the difficulties encountered locally by an initiative that faces the territorial complexity of a highly degraded urban environment.
