    I mean yes but the factor here is same day delivery and cars, not who owns them (setting aside how owners of these services have an incentive to encourage their use).

      I don’t think ownership was the point of the comment you replied to. I think the point was either taxing or eating the rich.

        I mean true enough, but unless those taxes are then used to combat climate change it won’t accomplish much (and even then climate change isn’t the kind of problem that goes away if you throw money at it). What I’m trying to say is: We should be taking rich people’s money, but there’s not much relation between rich people being rich and climate change.

          There actually is; the wealthiest are responsible for a wildly disproportionate share of emissions.

            Oh that’s a good point. I don’t think that’s what they were talking about, but yeah you got me there.

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.
