As if any of them had even had half the positive impact on the world as "little Greta Thunberg". Arrogant fuckfaces.

Especially when those closed-minded anus-licking morons don't realize that pretty much any change is opportunity for profit, they just have to follow the market shift and become leaders in the appropriate industries of the future.

Not trying to sound "yay capitalism 4eva" but seriously, the whole beauty of (properly regulated) capitalism is, "holy shit a new thing, lets go make billions!" Instead, they bury their heads, and everyone else's, in the sand, and miss out on opportunity while they kill everyone.

But hey, change is scary to their tiny brains and they can't comprehend, so oh well...

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.
