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.

There is fossil fuel advertising?

[–] spidermanchild@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Yes. NYT has been feeding me propane ads and BP ads. I already bitched at them last week and I'll do it again. I think it was Pennsylvania years ago where I saw a billboard that literally said "you need fossil fuels to survive".

I suppose those high octane petrol advertisements would count?

If I see one more “BP is dumping billions into the US economy” YouTube ad after I’ve supposedly blocked it, I’m gonna lose my mind.

And… On those gas pump video screens, require the display of climate change images and forecasts while you pump.

They always say how good, important, necessary they are without any mention of the pain and suffering that they have caused in the past and the chaos that they bequeath to our kids. Definitely ban them advertising!
