    So the plan isn’t just to sit back and watch the world burn but to actively speed it up?

      That is the publicly stated plan of this most recent Trump administration.

      Not without saying “we care” and singing Earth Song by Michael Jackson.

    Well, when the average person is having trouble buying groceries and paying rent, they can’t really afford to buy a fancy electric car. Particularly when their apartment complexes and workplaces have nowhere to charge them. Also, they’re doing good just to keep what they have running, much less blowing a bunch of money on something new.

    It also doesn’t help that our ‘leaders’ (if you can call them that) are doing everything in their power to avoid building trains and bike lanes.

      Worse, in my jurisdiction (Ontario, Canada), the government has decided to rip up bike lanes… to “reduce congestion” i.e. to own the libs.

      The federal government has announced a plan to build high-speed rail along the major population corridor. But they’ll be soon replaced by idiots whose whole platform is “undo it all”.

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.
