      Well, at least we can enjoy fresh new wacky reactions each year from now on. Gobsmackingly bananas, indeed. :(

      And they’ll be stunned again next year but still the government won’t do anything about it because it isn’t an issue that will win them (enough) voters.

          Instead of snow, we now get ash raining down from the town a few miles over that is burning to the ground because of a forest fire ❤️

    We’re also going to run out of oil in the 2060s. Can’t come soon enough

        Probably not, I care more about the environment though and the habitability of the earth than having oil. Besides, we do have alternative energy sources.

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.
