      Half of the people will be saying “fake news” until their houses are underwater as the billionaires escape on their spacecrafts

        I watched a program about Tangier Island, Maryland. The main street frequently has ankle deep water now. They are all Trumpers and are convinced it’s just erosion, but want the government to step in and fix it somehow.

        So there you go. People can literally be standing in water and not believe it’s happening.

          Hug yourself tightly, knowing that you didn’t ask to be born into this timeline, but having been born into it against your will, refuse to play.

            And suddenly I wake up in a video arcade to some pimple faced ride operator saying, “Sorey dude, I don’t think your brain like ‘Sim Billionaire!’”

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.
