The right ring hate for climate change is truly remarkable, and spread to my family in recent years.

I honestly don’t get it. Ignoring it is one thing, but viewing it as an actively malicious, hysterical “belief” that should be mocked? Like, if they’re watching a nature documentary and it’s brought up (cause, you know, they’re literally conservationists filming this stuff in real time; how could they not bring it up?), they make these crude, mocking jokes about it.

And I’m talking about doctors and other science believing, educated professionals.

It’s… weird.

And it’s getting worse.

The propaganda was bought and paid for by the oil and gas industry with Koch leading the way.

It's their media. It's Newsmax, Fox, right wing TikTok, X.

The American Petroleum Institute has owned media that push their narrative for more than 4 decades. They need to pay for the crimes they've committed to destroy the world we live in. You should read The Ministry for the Future.

its a decades in the making by right wing/oil propaganda, the industry backed "eco-protestors that are defacing public properties" were primarly funded by oil/gas industry in order to turn the public against protesting. just like they did with funding "companies that tell you to buy thier eco-friendly products, so they dont have to reduce thier own co2 emissions or lower thier carbon footprint.

Bad, but I’m only surprised it took this long:

I’ve visited NCAR twice, sigh.

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:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
