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

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

I live in Florida and this guy is a fucking plague on the state. But that’s what happens when your state is a punching bag and piggy bank for grifter politicians. Businesses and politicians here work from an ethics book that is all blank pages.

It's actually just what happens when people vote for Republicans. They believe climate change is a hoax and they use it to rile up their base.

There are some grifter Democrats as well, but most Democrats generally take climate change and the environment seriously. Most Republicans don't.
