Yes, let's fully put our individual lives on pause in fear of the future instead of eating the fucking rich, warmongering, polution-driving corpocrats

Why do the lower classes need to continue sacrificing? What's brand new jets to new poor person ratio for the climate?

There's nothing I can do. They live with me.

Thanks for not kicking them out of the house. Living on people's couches isn't the greatest start to life.l, I should know.

I don't expect any parent to say otherwise.

Im super glad I went a fifth year and tried phd route for a year in a major that did not make bank. If I graduated and made money right away I might have had kids before realizing. We are talking mid 90's and everything was not sinking in.

8 billion people on this planet. The odds my offspring will be noticed is so very thin. If you don't know you can help, maybe hang back.

So we didn't, despite reasonable intelligence, good work ethic to pass along, and a dramatically high twinning rate. We'd've had twin ginger girls for sure. You're all lucky, because she brings a lot of brain and drive to the equation, and if all that holds true I see 'supervillains' for sure.

You're welcome, world.

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.
