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.

Right wing conservatives are in power. Not surprising

There are no left-wing conservatives.

Conservatism is a human extinction comorbidity now.

It'll come for everyone, governments left and right are going to start falling soon and it'll be too late to replace it with a working system. People from the right and left are worried about a new world order but even a significant shift to the left won't stop what's coming. We desperately need a new world order if we're going to fix it. But it won't happen, just chaos, war and weather deaths. It'd be great if there was a god to step in and save us. Civilization is already doomed, but the longer we go, the more likely it becomes that humanity is also doomed.
