Fed up with a lack of political progress in solving the climate problem, some researchers are becoming activists to slow global warming.

    It’s like Don’t Look Up but real life and happening a little more slowly.

      Wasn’t the literal point of “don’t look up” to be about how we’re ignoring the super obvious threat of climate change?

        Yeah yeah it was, but we’re at the point within that plot where the scientists get worked up about not being taken seriously.

      Only if you’re privileged enough it happens slowly.

        That looks hilarious. It’s a bit like that, except here it’s humans on earth.

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.
