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.

Liability is inevitable, so when they seemingly try to "shut it down," remember that the real goal is not only to delay it, but secretly also to shift it.

They offer people money to shield them from accountability, but later, when there is accountability, they will blackmail those same people and throw them under the bus.

If someone lets the authorities bribe them to sell out the safety of future generations, there's nothing they can say to defend themselves when the authorities later say "oh look, we found the guy that sold out the safety of future generations, what shall the punishment be?"

Be ready to help low-ranking criminals betray higher-ranking criminals, not just blindly attack whatever target is put in front of you.
