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:

It can lay out the evidence for the American people and help get it widely covered in the press, reducing Trump's odds of being elected again

Have you not been paying attention the last 8 years?

Most people aren't paying attention, and reminding them of Trump's corruption is useful.

No no, you don't understand.

I'm not going to give you any suggestions or actually say anything, I'm just going to point out that what you're saying won't do anything. /s

In case you're confused, this is sarcasm. So far the people in here saying "this won't do anything!" aren't actually putting forth any suggestions - meaning they don't know what they're talking about.
