    That’s nice, but have you considered HATE?

      I’ve mostly seen that as an excuse to go kill climate refugees rather than a mechanism to motivate people to limit the damage.

        History is full of revolutionaries that hated their oppressors.

      Ngl, I legitimately hate Republican political leaders (not the regular folks, just their political leaders). So, yes, yes, I have. And it’s absolutely useless and self-defeating.

        It’s only useless if you don’t use it~

          Ooof. That’s dark.

          I like not being in jail and being alive, though.

            Yeah, same, but that’s just because we don’t have enough hate to overcome everything else.

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.
