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.

This makes so much sense:

  1. Centralized maintenance compared to individual rooftop solar
  2. Peak generation during buisness hours is actually a huge bonus instead of a drawback

This is also such a no-brainer from a fiscal point of view, it's literally unused, unproductive land (rooftops).

you also have the benefit that having chargers at work would be a positive workplace benefit as not needing to pay for "gas" adds up over time.

the averge person spends most of their time during daytime away from home, so its far less practical to have solar at home.
