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 don’t understand why people won’t pay outrageous prices for something that can only charge a laptop during an economic collapse”

Lol. The article is underselling them a bit. 800W does a bit more than that.

Btw. prices have become pretty low. So it's worth it if you have the space. Not sure what you mean with economic collapse, though.

Not sure what I mean by economic collapse?

You’re making a joke, right?

I think the people replying to you aren't properly parsing your comment. To rephrase it for these folks:

“I don’t understand why -during an economic collapse- people won’t pay outrageous prices for something that can... charge a laptop”

I.e., it shouldn't be surprising that people aren't going to spend a bunch of money on something nearly useless when our economy is actively collapsing
