But the cities are still extremely polluted. I feel this data is manipulated. Also, where I live there used to be so many migratory birds in this season. Nowadays, we barely see any.

These politicians keep fucking up the country.

"got worse more slowly" is very different from "got better"

Some quotes:

[...] the increase in clean-power generation from newly added capacity in 2025 was sufficient to cover demand growth of up to 5%.

In total, CO2 emissions went up slightly year-on-year, as increases from steel and cement outweighed the falls in gas demand and coal power.

The planned investment in steelmaking is overwhelmingly coal-based capacity. [...] Two-thirds of steel is used for construction. Strong steel demand in 2025 reflected growth in new housing construction in earlier years

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.
