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.

China and the EU are expected to publish a joint statement committing the two regions to more ambitious plans for cutting emissions ahead of the UN COP30 summit in Brazil, in an effort to galvanise action on climate amid geopolitical tensions

The EU, typically one of the most ambitious parties at COP talks, faces a backlash from member states over efforts to commit to a high level of cuts. EU governments including France and Poland have said the bloc should not agree to more stringent targets unless support for its flagging industry and households was greater.

It would be fine if they would commit themselves to showing joint leadership also on human rights -a key issue closely related to climate as we know - but I somehow doubt Beijing would agree.
