    Meanwhile, here in the UK, Ministers consider rollback of green policy to try to win votes from those who really should not vote Tory.

      Term based politics really make me struggle with democracy when it comes to this topic. No one is going to do jack shit if that means they lose votes, or half assed shit at best.

        That’s why candidates should be randomized

              Sounds interesting. Isn’t it quite complicated to implement in a society like ours? How do you choose the pool of people?

          That’s probably the dumbest suggestions I’ve heard (so far). Bravo.

            It’s a legitimate democratic system. You should probably inform yourself before having an opinion

              That’s a lottery. I’m not going to leave the fate of my country to chance.

      Aren’t you glad, the EU isn’t there to regulate this kind of thing anymore? /s (do we use the sarcasm “/s” here as well or did we leave that at the old place?)

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.
