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.

I can clearly see snow in that picture

Somehow implying that the photo at the top of the article is at all recent.

If it's not recent it's not relevant and shouldn't even be in the article

Yeah pretty lazy not to bother getting a recent picture to be honest

Guys? The planet is dying. It’s okay if they didn’t feel like finding someone in Shizuoka who wants to go up their helicopter and take a picture of it right now. They’re still allowed to write the article about it.

The fuck are you on about? You can see mountains standing in the ground. Have you ever actually seen a mountain yourself?

Nobody needs a helicopter.
