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.

The Bezos Earth Fund is focused on selling artificial intelligence — the technology driving Amazon's rising carbon emissions — as the solution to the climate crisis

The claim that AI is going to solve the climate crisis is of course total bullshit

She looks like an actual ghoul. I’m not one for body or looks shaming, but if you actually choose to look like this then I shame your taste. Her face looks like her surgeon took each side of her face and stapled it to the back of her head. Something tells me her nether reigions look the same.

Her seemingly young physiognomy and old, wrinkled body remind me of Level 16. Great movie.

I feel like it's milder than body-shaming when someone specifically decided they wanted to look like this, then spent a fortune to make it happen.

Yes exactly she looks like a super villain that Batman or Spiderman would need to fight. It's fucking sickening and can't imagine how much money was spent to look like that.
