Donald Trump has attacked President Biden’s climate and energy policies with gusto, but many of his criticisms are simply untrue.

It’s worth noting that the things Trump says aren’t just random nonsense; they’re part of a larger disinformation campaign run by the fossil fuels industry.

    No, whales are being driven crazy by things like massive container ships and oil drilling rigs. Somehow he got the symptoms correct but flipped around the cause. The question is, is he being an idiot or intentionally malicious?

    I mean, two things can be true. He says deliberately evil and false things. He also says bat-shit crazy things that can’t be intentional…

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.
