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.

O&G companies are pushing more AI so they can sell more fossil fuels to AI data centres.

O&G companies are also investing in AI in the expectation that AI data centres will pay them back by buying their fossil fuels.

Then of course, they'll tell us they're only meeting our own "demand" for fossil energy.

Edit: I just noted this story is from 2025. Sorry about that.
