    This is dumb on multiple levels.

    Caving to US’ silly demands would get the EU nothing but more silly demands. Methane emissions worsen health and the climate.

    Those who think it’s possible to reason with Trump, or soothe him, are delusional.

    The EU is large enough and has enough allies to take a harder stance against US economic and environmental threats.

      Not if they want those Patriot missile systems for Ukraine.

        Ukraine stopped placating Trump about a year ago, focused on their own military capacity and this strategy pays out pretty well at the moment. Which IS a monumental shift.

          I mean, the US no longer supports Ukraine at all. Mission accomplished for Putin, I suppose.

            They may but get support from USA, but they still want to buy their Patriot systems which come with strings.

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.
