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.

Huh.

Obvious solution is to start hunting if you want to eat meat. Anyone want to go on a pig hunt with me in east Texas, or southern Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, or northern Florida? I can supply guns/ammo, you supply the land to hunt? (Might also need nods or thermal, depending on the area.) I figure about two feral hogs would be enough for a year, give or take. I'm not interested in deer hunting; lots of people do that, and deer were extinct for a few years in my state due to over-hunting, and had to be re-introduced. Also, I don't want to use dogs; hogs fuck dogs up pretty badly
