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.

pea milk is the only cow milk alternative i am willing to drink. all the other immitations are unbearable..oat, almond etc... yuck

For cereal and similar breakfast applications, I quite like oat milk. It does have a strong oat flavor though.

Have you tried macadamia?

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

yes. not my favorite. not the worst. pea barista milk at my edeka...loving it.

also a quick question: growing and harvesting macadamia to make milk...whats the co2 footprint compared to pea or oatmilk?

[–] Yoga@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

My experience growing backyard peas suggest nuts are almost definitely more lol

What's your favorite brands of pea milk?

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago
