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.

FINALLY. I cannot tell you how annoying it is to know the weather ahead of time and have smart people study weather and climate. Everyone knows weather is controlled by the LORD JESUS CHRIST. I also cannot stand that my weather feed is a service provided by the government. I have said for many years I want to pay for this and I want micro transactions implemented to get the absolute best out of the experience. From now on I want to pay by the day for each forecast which is just a Bible verse hand picked by a Trump level weather scientists. Which means he is a christian minister that doesn't believe in science and used to be on Fox news, as all good scientists should.
