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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
Interesting how they suddenly can’t find money to fund anything that helps humanity but they can invest billions of dollars in fucking defense-related AI R&D. Anyone with a brain can see that cutting agency funding will do nothing for the deficit if you’re just yeeting money at Alex Karp to make AI-enabled bombs or whatever.
I’m tired of the government pretending that the deficit actually means anything.
Surprising no one. Except some senators and congressmen. Smfh.
I wonder if we’ll get another month long shutdown with a pinky promise to vote on it that’ll be ignored again.
Democrats are such fucking pussies. That's the one thing I admire about Republicans, they stick to their guns no matter what. They will do whatever it takes to fuck over a minority or steal from a charity or something, but at least they know how to fight.
It's much easier to fight when you don't care about what kind of damage it'll do.
I'm not saying this to defend the Democrats, just to point out that Republicans have a massive natural advantage on this stage. I don't think their success comes as much from competence as it does from being naturally aligned with doing harm.
