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.

I wasn't able to afford medical insurance at the time and fell behind on arranged payments on 2 ER (emergency room) visits. In America medical debt effects your credit score negatively.

Sounds like you're condescending asshole that doesn't know what they are talking about

I live in America, have medical debt that I generally have ignored, and it never shows up on my credit score, I wonder if making the payment arrangement is what made it show up on the report, because currently I have a 800 credit score.

There's something they aren't telling us here. It sounds like they likely put the arranged payments on their credit card.

That would make sense, essentially double dipping the debt. Twice soaked in horrible costs.
