What are the liberal conspiracies? Only one that comes to mind is the Bernie being screwed over by the DNC thing. (and extensions from there like you should vote for Trump to piss of DNC or third party).

On the far left you'll get a lot of conspiracies around the CIA thwarting all attempts at socialism. On the moderate liberal side you'll get theories on Russia. Both of these have a lot more basis in reality then republican ones, but still every political movement has a boogie man and a set of people who will blame all the worlds problems in them.

I'm not sure how many of those can truly be called conspiracies, with the Freedom of Information act, we actually have a pretty significant amount of evidence that the CIA absolutely destabilizes countries that start gravitating toward socialism and replace their leaders with capitalist friendly ones. The CIA backed coup of Salvador Allende in Chili is just one example.

Johnny Harris did a good video on the history of the rest..

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.
