Climate protesters disrupted Joe Manchin’s speech at a diner in New Hampshire on Tuesday (16 January).

Activists from the Climate Defiance group, who previously shut down the senator’s keynote speech at a Semafor event, chanted “Off fossil fuels Manchin” at the Democrat.

The chanting appeared to begin after Mr Manchin said his greatest concern is the “border crisis,” a video consisting of different clips stitched together shows.

The group says they aim to use peaceful civil disobedience to call for the end of fossil fuels and to elevate climate change to the top of the political agenda.

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.
