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.

There are 25 comments. If you block that troll asshole there are 6 ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] thejevans@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Looks like they're banned or something now. I didn't block them, but the comments are all gone on my end, now.

[โ€“] MartinXYZ@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was unaware, but I must have them blocked. The counter says 28 but I only see 12.

[โ€“] silence7@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 year ago

I banned some of the trolls, and wiped their comments. Lemmy hides the rest of the thread when I do that.

[โ€“] Nelots@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I'm in the same boat, because it says 32 but I only see 16. Which is amusing because I've only blocked like two non-bots, both of which for previously trolling. Some people need to get a life lol.

I was very confused reading these comments at first. I must have that idiot blocked already.

[โ€“] silence7@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there are a bunch of people who spend their time searching for her name so that they can troll

shoot, I was hoping trolls and corporate apologists would have stayed on Reddit.

That's not going to happen when we have people paid to generate disinformation.
