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.

You forget that their plans for an "overhaul" of any given program amounts to nothing more than cutting funding and hoping they can pull the wool over their constituents eyes with some new atrocity long enough to make everyone forget about how worse off their lives are now.

Oh I fully agree, I said as much in my second paragraph of ranting where I tried to back off of my personal hatred for them and point out the positive that they do. I know there is no intention of an actual replacement, and that "leave it to the states" will cause economic crisis. Again, I don't agree with him I just also hold a belief that people shouldnt start defending FEMA as this benevolent government agency that only shits cotton candy for people that have lived through a natural disaster.
