        I don’t care if remote work decreases emissions. We paid for an office!

        I don’t care if AI uses a crazy amount of energy, we need the line to go up!

    I’ve been aware since the mid 90s i would likely get to witness the fall of the human race. What an exciting time to live in. Terrible, but exciting.

    I can live cause I’m rich and can afford a compound though :) No I don’t wonder about where all the things I use that have massive production chains come from, why do you ask?

    The problem is there are too few decision-makers who listen to scientists, or electoral pressure prevents them from taking more radical measures, or they are influenced by lobbyists, or…

      “Electoral pressure” just means regular people don’t actually care that much, no? That seems like a big part of the problem to me.

    If scientists are so smart, why aren’t they running things? Checkmate nerds! /$

      Plato said they should, but nobody listened to him because he was a big nerd.

        Most scientists make terrible leaders and communicators though. It would be sufficient if politicians followed science reports made by the scientists. But instead they follow the money and whatever gets them reelected.

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.
