Description
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](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/figures/summary-for-policymakers/figure-spm-1): ![Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming](https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/4276aa7e-c3b3-470d-8519-8c2424265624.png) [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.](https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/74846940-97b5-4d50-ba90-c7136693f3c3.png)](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/figures/summary-for-policymakers/figure-spm-2) [Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future: ![](https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/e7c05fc0-0391-407a-9492-f848810507e3.png)](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/figures/summary-for-policymakers/figure-spm-7/) Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
