Fascist light aristocrat Dana Nessel belatedly files lawsuit to get a check for the state as a cut of the money oil has been extorting the citizens of the state for.

This just makes sure Michigan gets it's cut, to use for tax breaks to corporations, for screwing their citizens. Dana Nessel is a cynical fascist. She's not on your side, she has nothing but contempt for you, or any issue, she is playing you, along with the other establishment figures.

The only way forward is replacing them, their performative efforts to fulfill campaign promises as if it were sufficient or acceptable to just file a lawsuit then throw up your hands as if there was no real politik to be played needs to end if we aren't to all fall under the boot of the other party.

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.
