There is a big ass truck standing around where i live. Ut has a souther state flag on the front (in Switzerland btw.) And stickers that say: i drive a v8 so your prius is pointless. Only gay vops pull me over and this machine kills cyclists. Everytime i see that ridiculous car that doesn't fit on it's space i'm just glad i'm not that person, because it seems miserable to be that kind of guy.v

It's always rather telling how all of these people tend to have their car in their profile pics on their social networks instead of friends or family or things they do.

Their masculinity is defined by the stuff they own, and there are going to be a lot of snowflakes around who play victim in a few years who don't have solar installed, don't have an EV, and can't seek attention from others by reving their engine. They'll be complaining the government is costing them money and demand free money whereas they simply chose to not adapt and are actively making choices which are nonsensical

We're already at the point that a lot of people would probably rather prefer to ride in an EV with a mate than a performance car which they can't even utilize except at the track. Sports cars are boring now

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.
