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.

Good thing the police are doing their jobs of protecting energy magnates by suppressing the most basic human liberties.

After all not like there's a no questions tax free money laundry on every corner for organized crime to use.

The more it goes, the more I feel the surge to sharpen my guillotine. And I was an harmless long haired hippie in the 90's, listening to Led Zeppelin and the Doors instead of Korn or Sepultura. I am fucking pissed and it's getting worse by the day.

Should have listened to Korn. 😉 There's still time! Load up some System of a Down while you're at it, too. They became more popular with me again over the last years.

But don't do anything to get yourself in a bad way. Protect yourself.

My wife is a metalhead.

We went to the Hell Fest for the inauguration of Lemmy Killmister’s tribute statue in 2022

Korn, Deftones, Judas Priest, Sepultura, Leprous, Wife Finger Death Punch, Shinedown were among the performers.

Needless to say it was awesome.

Cops are just doing their job, like literally.

Well if your job is to obey a corrupt government and jail protesters you should consider changing sides.
