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.

The first step would be to educate people with anarchist literature. It would be a process dismantling hierarchies without destroying our society of connectivity but I believe its possible. I believe people are, and are becoming more, altruistic on average otherwise civilization would not have been an emergent property of our collectivism.

I feel like you must have slipped through a rift in the time / space continuum and are visiting us from another reality.

The first step would be to educate people with anarchist literature.

In 2025, we're completely unable to expect "people" at large to engage in any kind of reasoning.

You can't just propose to "educate people with anarchist literature" like that's some kind of solution.

If you feel you can't educate others, assist those who can. You'll never stop bad people from existing, but you can remove the ladders they seize to lord over us.
