How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

The last one led to enormous backlash, in case nobody noticed. It certainly can be done, but it needs to be approached by a good artist, not a good political activist. Those are simply not the same skillset, which is highly noticeable in the final product.
