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.

Because if you said jetstream destabilization and poler vortex he would try and claim they where made up words by some shadowy conspiracy in order to play to his education hating base?

Oh yeah, imma trust the guy that can't speak coherently to tell me how the climate works. Why don't you just sharpie the storm path down to Mexico and save us all the headache, dipshit?

At this point, we know he's full of shit about everything he says. Why even spend energy writing rebuttals?

I prefer that news outlets simply do a periodic roundup of lies. And call them lies.
