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.

Not "skeptics"-- paid anti-science propagandists. There's a difference between skepticism and refusing to accept overwhelming evidence.

It's like with evolution: creationists are not "evolution skeptics." They are anti-science religious zealots and/or whackjobs.

Good, we need scientists to point out what quackery this crap is. Its obviously just intended to distract, and manipulate, while we continue ass raping the Earth. Its going to catch up to us, and we are all going to be sorry when that day comes.

These people think that if an authority figure moved a Falling Rocks sign, the rocks would fall somewhere else.

I'm pretty sure Trump believes that, as Sharpiegate showed.
