Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

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.

No UK? I thought we'd be higher.

65th, 5.2 tons per capita, just behind 5.5 that of Italy. you still could be proud thou /s

Thanks for digging that up. It's pretty cool, but even Britain have a massive way to go, so disturbing that many are doing worse than us.

So, Qatar is at the top of the list - for what? Doe they count exported oil, or do they actually burn loads of their own oil locally for whatever reasons? Or is this due to refining stuff and gas flares?

[–] lntl@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The US should be at the top of every list and here isn't in the top ten? This place really is going to shit

[–] sonori@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Clearly we need to pump up our numbers. /s

[–] iraq_lobster@slrpnk.net 3 points 11 months ago

yea, each american citizen secretly has an oil field in his backyard and 4wd cars and a herd of camels to move around just in case

Romania is 87th... Not bad!
