    Too bad they aren’t asking people to stop breeding. I mean, eating plant based food isn’t going to come close to offsetting the carbon footprint of having a kid.

        Without stopping population growth, anything else is pissing in the wind. The planet is fucked.

          Sounds like a great excuse to keep doing whatever you want. Good job!

              What? Just do both. I don’t follow your logic.

          Population growth peaked decades ago.

          The planet will be fine. The question is how humanity survives. Your fantasies about just killing everyone off quickly are not a solution, they’re a cop out.

      This is genocidal lifestylism, not good green 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.
