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.

Hey, you said you had insider knowledge you are seemingly reluctant to share. That's a "trust me bro" when only a fool would trust an anonymous person on the internet.

Yes, "go look into specific thing" is a re-wording of "go do your own research". The goal is "find and believe the same bullshit that manipulates me".

Like I said, demand has increased. Supply is following it. This is the intended function of capitalism, for better or for worse. Supply follows demand, because, sadly, personal profit is a powerful psychological motivator.

Yeah I'm not going to share any further info that is even remotely self-identifying. Apparently you think that is suspicious.

That’s a “trust me bro”

It's a "I know things I can't share". You are free to distrust. You can do the other thing I suggested, which is to look at the finances of solar companies.

Yes, “go look into specific thing” is a re-wording of “go do your own research”.

Right you still expect others to fetch things for you and can't handle it not happening. It seems you aren't learning this lesson. I am being consistent, you see.

This will be my last reply until you show evidence of trying to learn anything about this.

You could easily direct towards this evidence of specific solar companies, that would not be personally identifying in the slightest. You cannot because you are fabricating.

Failing to support your arguments is a fundamental failing of intellectual honesty, which is fully in-line with the goals of a propagandist. You are ceasing the conversation because I easily backed you into a corner you cannot escape from. Buh-bye.
