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.

It's called non violent civil disobedience and it's part of a movement to pressure the government to act on the climate crisis.

You don't have to like it. But if you want activists to give up on shit like this, one very effective way would be to get the government to act on the climate crisis. There would be no nuisance then, and the government would be acting on the climate crisis. So win win.

So what are you doing to get the government to act on the climate crisis?

Should I repeat the words GET THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT TO FUCKING ACT ON THE FUCKING CLIMATE CRISIS or you get the fucking point?
