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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Do they realize that this will lead to more physical sabotage against oil infrastructure? If they get rid of any non-violent means of mitigating concerns, they leave only one option.
Which becomes further justification for building out their mass surveilance police state
Flock cameras and SWAT teams sound bad? You havent seen anything yet
After what the americans have mustered against a fascist takeover I don't think the rich are very scared about someone trying to "sabotage" the oil infrastructure...
Right wing violence (which includes neo Nazis, fundamentalist Christians bombing abortion clinics, etc) and fundamentalist Islam attacks make up the overwhelming majority of political violence in the USA but left wing violence exists. And of that left wing violence the majority is what they call “ecoterrorism”
It’s not obscenely common (tbf no political violence is “extremely common” in America, statistically still very unlikely) but it does happen. It’s just far less publicized because “some people bombed an oil transport line/hummer dealership at night/etc” is not nearly as clickbaity as “weird scumbag with a manifesto about great replacement theory posted to 8chan shot 35 people”
It's not nearly as much as it should be based on how many people are angry at the regime, but also the news doesn't want to publicize it because they don't want to give other people any ideas. Look at the response after they tried trashing Luigi, everyone loved and supported his cause, and they quickly dropped coverage.
I don't want to sound condescending but so it's both not known about and doesn't seem to work. I mean you won't have regime change because an insurance company has to pay elon musk for burnt unsold cars.
Yes they can barely keep the regime in place with the violent revolutionary clashes going on every day.
The US land of the free guerilla makes Hamas look like boy scouts.
