I would actually say that the New York Times by and large is refusing to change in response to Iceland and other places radically changing from Climate Change.

The New York Times is happy to hem and haw about Climate Change with a tone like David Attenborough all the while going out to fancy steak dinners with finance people who power this whole torment nexus and pretending we just need some more reform to fix things.... and then they will publish an op-ed from some batshit crazy conservative who casually questions whether Climate Science is real or whether environmentalism is going too far or some other inane centrist/conservative nonsense.

We ARE changing, it is just the New York Times is not...

Like seriously The New York Times JUST was able to come to terms with the fact that maybe Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza. JUST NOW. The NYT is a dinosaur, and not one of the cool kinds.

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.
