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.

CBS News is now equal to Fox News in my mind. Both are worthless and the best action is to ignore them.

I'd rather see them displaced by actual news.

I used to watch the three network Sunday Morning politics shows, but now I skip CBS, and watch something else like PBS. CBS is no longer a news station, any more than Fox News or the National Enquirer.

Yet another reason why CBS is no longer a trustworthy news source.

I mean, it's owned by Larry Ellison's son, so not very surprising there.
