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.

It's a gift link. You should be able to access the article without paying for 30 days so long as:

  • You have javascript enabled
  • You're not running a browser extension which strips off parts of the URL after the '?'

I use gift links like this a lot because of how they enable access.

Well. Thanks for the gift, but I’m not jumping through hoops because they have crappy developers.

I tried it with both Mull and Chromite, they worked fine.

samizdat-graphql.nytimes(.)com and a couple other things hit my firewall, but I didn't need to allow them.

The Russians delved too deep and a Balrog is nearing the surface. This is making the permafrost melt and collapse. It is unknown if the Balrog can make it through the muck to reach the surface or not. Legend has it that if it does then climate change will accelerate and we're all screwed because it's a really really hot monster.
