    I find it really baffling that climate change denial is so strong in America given the ectreme effects the country is already seeing.

      Unfortunately, Republicans have spent decades systematically destroying public education in this country, and this is the end result. When Trump said “I love the poorly educated” back in 2016 he wasn’t really saying anything new or breaking from the mainstream GOP stance… He was just honest about it, unlike the rest of the GOP who have always described their supporters with cynical euphemisms like “salt of the earth” and “regular folk” when they really mean ignorant rubes.

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.
