      Trying not to rock the boat 30 days from an election. A reminder that we have a rogue supreme court is just fuel to turn out voters against Trump.

      They don’t much care what we think, so it’s likely not about anything other than short-term concern that being pro-poison might affect the election.

    Ahhh FUCK this means these fucking morons have figured out immortality and we’re stuck with them forever now. It’s the only logical reason they would suddenly start giving any shits about the future.

      We should be glad it’s an election year, and their favorite demagogue isn’t doing well enough that they have any wiggle room to fuck around and capitulate to corporate interests.

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.
