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.

I am aware that the use of such source is frowned upon. Nonetheless, the elonjettracker dude got busted from X© and now has his own sub. Interesting content to say the least, and it does help put things into perspective. Also i hope Lemmy implements flairs as a feature, this post could thus use a discussion flair, to signal that such content is up for debate.

Maybe there’s an unspoken “Have more Italian children so we don’t lose out to immigrants” in there? After his publicity stunt going to the US southern border it’s certainly a possibility.

With Meloni maybe it's just spoken

I don’t know him or his politics. Is he populist/right wing?

Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy) is the descendant of Almirante's Movimento Sociale Italiano (Italian Social Movement) who carried far right-wing politics into the Italian Republic after WWII and the Resistance. Fratelli d'Italia is as far right as it gets.

Thank you. I can’t imagine they don’t share some of the same views on the subject.

Also, “She”. TIL.
