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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

The public underestimates everything about how they feel collectively because they are constantly being marketed to by people who own the media ... who are also the ones who want to hide / obfuscate / confuse the conversation about climate change.
The same people who own the media are the same people who constantly, consistently and continually control all of the information and communications that everyone needs in order to understand the world.
The problem is always the same ... the ones with the all the money and power are the ones causing the majority of the world's problems ... they are also the ones who keep tight control of making as many of us as unaware of that fact as much and as often as possible.
No lies here. 100%.
The main problem I see with all this is that change will move at the speed of the economy and finances ... companies and businesses will wait to see if someone or something will come along that will make a ton of money quickly and easily while also doing something for the environment and that people like. None of the investors will actively go out to encourage anyone to develop this magical unicorn business. They will all just wait around to see it appear on a stock ticker and give them promise of profit.
The only solution like that would be something like carbon capture and investors put a lot of money into that. To not emit as much, we need to deploy a lot of different solutions. Those however replace old ones, which means old industry is fighting hard to stop it.
