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:
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.

They're not ignoring anything. This copium pisses me off.
From the article:
But what if they dont care? What if they don't care and haven't for so long they've actively lied to the government and the public for years, showing us unequivocally they only care, quite a bit, about continuing to do whatever they please? Buying government officials, etc. all showing us their intent.
Perhaps begging (hoping? coping?) that fossil fuel groups and investors will somehow "see the light" and change in their own is useless and stupid, when it's been made stupendously clear their position is firm? They knew the science in the 50s. Why would this change their minds?
God that set me off. Rant over
Exactly. All I had in my mind was, as these trends continue to worsen, flashes of mobs at the gates of these fuckers’ mansions. If we want a shred of a snowball’s chance in hell of righting the ship, we need this anger to overflow, like, right now. Not only after we’ve started starving.
Basically...
"This serial killer should feel remorse." Ok... But he doesn't because he's a hedonistic nihilist who lives off the suffering of others. You can't reason with that because you don't actually have any bargaining power except violence.
Stop trying to pretend that these people care about the survival of humanity. They knew about this, they built their oil rigs taller to account for it. The oil industry and humanity are now locked in a zero sum game: one survives or the other, it cannot be both.
Maybe you misunderstood me? Or maybe you responded to the wrong person? All I said was “we need the collective anger at what these people have done to us to become active right now. We need to storm their mansions with overwhelming force.” I never said I expected these remorseless killers to change or feel remorse. I said we need to deal with them all in a mass guillotine party.
Oh yeah, I was agreeing, just didn't really communicate it super well.
