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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Elect me and Iβll set a goal by 2040 that we will consider a policy to begin looking at doing more.
That's crazy talk! Just mentioning that made my shares in FuckThisPlanetOilForLife drop by 0.0000001 percent! You'll ruin the economy! Think of the share holders and the rich!
We are so fucked. I focus on enjoying the time we have.
I'm just listening to assholes vroom-vrooming up and down the nearby thoroughfare day and night. Each and every one is accelerating the problems for everyone, and they can't give a fuck.
I see nascar and f1 and think: what fucking planet is this being broadcast from?
India, pakistan and mexico are literally cooking. this week we're predicting heat waves all over the US and Canada even.
How many dead people from heat will it take before someone says "Hey, you know, we could cut out a lot of emissions just by stopping the 'for funs' bullshit"?
I can offer you worse. Rolling coal is legal here. Itβs considered cool to put out lots of black exhaust.
Rolling coal is legal here.
I live in the states, it doesn't seem to be illegal here. Do we suffer from the same assholes?
To be clear, itβs legal and common especially because we donβt have any emissions standards enforcement. In my state, there is no test whatsoever, and even if youβre blatantly belching clouds of smoke it is 100% tolerated. Itβs a bizarre badge of honor among some hyper conservative residents to pollute as much as possible.
I think operating a motor vehicle should entail a certain degree of responsibility including environmental responsibility.

yup. and consequences for those who won't. world's literally cooking guys, every bit will help, and every vroom vroom revving their fucking engines is hurting. time to be adults and put the toxic toys away.

roomba f1.
we're fixing this shit!
Meanwhile in the Netherlands we are installing a new government of parties that don't believe in global warming. π
I feel you, we have that coming for us in Germany within the next 10 years.
Do they also have plans to build more dykes and polders?
Why does this seem like the part of an exponential growth curve where it starts to go asymptotic? Like maybe I'm crazy, but this seems real real bad.
Not crazy, it is real real bad.
This representation looks pretty
First thing I noticed too! Gorgeous graph.
February looks like it is gunning for someone... what a worryingly consistent increase.
We had a tool for these blobs, it was called histogram. Looks pretty though.
You are missing the subtleties of this presentation that goes well beyond a histogram. This is a very nice layout that shows variability by month and decade.
Okay right, the colour code is extra.
This is a great image but every month looks like Saddam Hussein hiding underground
