Reminds me of a bad joke I saw on that garbage site that's trying to be like Lemmy

Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? Because it was dead

Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree? Because he was stapled to the first

Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree? Monkey see monkey do

Why did the refrigerator fall out of the tree? Because it had no arms

Why did Sally fall off her bike? Because she was hit with 3 monkeys and a refrigerator

Why did the redditor fall out of the tree? Because the instructions were unclear and he had his knob stuck in the monkey.

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.
