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 Labour government still refuses to marginalize those working to undermine climate policy using spin and misinformation.

The new Labour government in Britain has continued the Tory's authoritarian crackdown on dissent and watering down of climate targets to appease the fossil fuel lobbyists of Tufton Street, and welcomed the erstwhile enemies of democracy direct action to the administration.

At the same time, we have witnessed crumbling of the so-called fourth pillar of democracy - the press - and its failure to hold the government accountable for abandoning its campaign promises.

There is also a prequel.
