    This has been clear for at least 20 years to anybody paying attention. I feel for those who will have to suffer this fate they didn’t cause nor ask for.

    next up: why aren’t millenials and zoomers having kids? probably because of avocado toast and pronoun.

      The pronoun thing would be a healthy thing to drop. It literally creates division, which is something we need less of.

        Its been a hot aminute since I’ve seen someone say something so stupid.

        The ones who are causing the divide are the ones whom boots you are licking.

          From my perspective, you just proved my point. Thank you.

              You have no right to call me sweetie. That is reserved for people who know me, not a nobody from the Internet.

              Goodbye forever. :)

        You’re right, all gendered pronouns should be abolished. Everyone is a ‘they’ from now on since division must be avoided at all costs.

          Oh but then logic rears its ugly head to remind you, some people really are boys and some really are girls, so for clarity and sanities sake, we will stick with the healthy language that keeps things simple and descriptive.

          Yay!

            Cool, so let’s just stick to using pronouns for everyone. After all, it’s simple enough to accommodate the people who really don’t fit into those neat categories.

              Only if we never have to be told what those pronouns are. Simple and effective

                “Oh no, I only want to be kind to people if it requires absolutely no effort on my part.”

                What a fucking child.

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.
