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.

You’re right. No one is throwing molotovs at techbro houses or burning down warehouses or anything.

Well, lone dudes doing dumb things won't do anything. People need to organize.

They can MAYBE manage another parade with live music and tailgate parties in a month or two if the weather is nice and they get the proper permits.

That's a start

And they need to organize BEFORE global surveillance is enforced under the guise of "age verification"

Not nearly enough.

Makes it easy to call us all "terrorists" before they drug us and send us to "wellness farms"

That’s exactly why you all need to stop acting like sheeple and start a revolution.

I mean you're preaching to the choir but the seething mass of liberals don't even know what liberal means

How dare you suggest that those piece of shit cowards aren’t doing enough? They’ll be here soon to set you straight!

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

This is literally what you’ve done in the face of fascism creep for three decades.
