    Unskipable 30 second Exxon mobile ad was quite the exclamation point.

      Yeah, the fossil fuels industry has been paying to put ads on a wide variety of climate journalism, as well as to have news outlets produce custom newslike content for them.

    The look of everyone there watching them tells you exactly what their priorities are at that summit, and it ain’t fixing the climate.

    Good. More decisive, although less to lose, than the schmucks on stage.

      Yes, although they possibly have more to lose since they can’t millionaire their way out of the consequences coming our way.

    Yep, these fine ladies and gents at COP28 are here to fuck up the future of people like this young activist. They’re aren’t interested at all beyond keeping their fossil fuel industries profitable.

    That should be the summit’s motto.

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.
