What form factor are they manufacturing these in? I'd love some way to swap in a battery for an electric conversion for an old BMW 2002

It's not the best battery type for cars, unless perhaps you are near arctic circle. They are heavy.

Sodium-ion's main advantages are safety, and ultra abundant material source for unlimited batteries, if lithium becomes expensive.

I thought sodium had high charge cycles, as well.

it does. LFP can cycle (slowly) 1 per day for 30 years though. 10 years at full fast charge/discharge. Because of financing/opportunity cost of money, the longer cycle life of Sodium Ion is not a game changer.

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.
