    I guess they actually read the intelligence report that outlined how they are essential to navel defenses

      Reading intelligent reports? Probably giving them more credit than they deserve here.

      Can I get a quick rundown on how it’s tied together? Too often I see “national defense” thrown around for things it shouldn’t be (Grok DC air pollution for example), but I’m having trouble figuring out the benefit here from a security standpoint.

        They include sensors that collect and transmit data that expand the effectiveness of the sonar network. If you get into the technical details of them, it is pretty obvious.

    If Congress actively intervened and prevented it, then the Trump admin didn’t back off, they were thwarted. What a shit headline.

    Dunno if the article clarifies things, as it’s paywalled.

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.
