All dogs are cute. Hitler had a cute dog.

My grandfather had an ugly dog. It died a long time ago and the world was a better and more beautiful place. My grandfather liked it, though, so I guess it wasn't completely irredeemable.

The dog being "cute" to you is kinda not the thing that should define the dog. Would you say that kinda thing about humans?

Some people, and dogs, are more attractive than others. This is an objective fact. Some people, and dogs, make the world a worse place and therefore make it a better place when they die. This is more subjective, but most people would agree with that statement, if not who would qualify. As for my grandfather's dog, the qualities that caused it to make the world a worse place were not its physical features. I rarely comment on people's looks because I think that's generally the least important thing about people.

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.
