    Also storms, but that might depend on your location. We didn’t have fires here, but some flooding. Not sure if a rising sea level will impact us here in Japan, but heat, storms and torrential rain is already bad enough. It’s already bad enough, and we haven’t really progressed that far yet.

    And the worst part is, I’m not old enough to not see what’s about to come in the 2030s.

        True. But we might still turn this around somehow.

    We’ve been warned about these climate emergencies since 1960s / 70s. Yet here we are still.

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.
