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.

Why is the media reporting on this as if they aren't 99% of the reason this shit is happening?

[–] xor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because "the media" isn't a single entity that is fully aligned on everything.

Sure, there's plenty of media outlets that supported trump, but there's also many that didn't.

And I certainly doubt Quitting Carbon Media were pushing for a Trump win.

Pushing for trump, and softballing his criminality just in case he wins are not too far from each other. Find me one major outlet that didn't do one of those, and find me more than 2 less common outlets that did as well.

Fuck you, name me 27 of each that did. What am I, your PA?

I'll give you one because that's all that's needed to satisfy the constraint "not all".

  • Byline Times, which published and article on 4th Nov ‘I Will Lose My Job for Speaking Out About the Mayhem a Donald Trump US Presidential Election Victory Will Cause – But I Have To’

And regardless of that, even if every last one of them got down on their knees and gave him a blowjob, that still doesn't mean that they shouldn't be critical of him.

You've missed the point. I do think it would be easier to find 27 that did than it would to find another that didn't. And that's the point. If we're also going to talk about the amount of viewers for each, it gets even easier than that.

There's no reason to lash out and be a dickhead, by the way. This could have been a conversation.

Also, you put "not all" in quotes as if you're not responding to my comment that clearly says 99%. If you're gonna be an asshole, at least be accurate.
