How much more can we do to destroy the environment?

How about driving for miles, to stay in an inhospitable place, cooking on fossil fuels, running generators, and having a huge bon fire?

We humans are so selfish and short sighted.

“We”? They’re the morons doing it.

People are people and we are people. There's no distancing ourselves from how our species behaves, however much we try to mitigate our own impacts.

I mean he is not wrong, that is exactly what we do when we go camping during holidays and have a barbecue

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

No. Burning man is so much more wasteful and abusive to the environment than campers are. The working class can follow the campsite rules, the owning class knows they don't have to.

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.
