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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Ooh, you're like dracula! Dracula is a vampire, and he has to drink the blood of innocents to sustain his immortal body or he'll die. So his life centers around violating other people in a bloody and vaguely sexual cycle of violence. This is a classic Morbius sitution. It's a trolley problem, except that you're the only person on the first track, and you can pull the lever to switch the trolley onto a track with dozens of innocents.
So you are calling me a monster because of a medical condition that I cannot help? Excuse my literal autism diagnosis, just trying to understand what your saying.
Well most monsters can't help being monsters either. "I'm a vampire and I don't want to be" is a VERY established trope that really saw a surge in popularity in the 90s. That trope is also at the very core of the werewolf myth, and it's present in zombie stories too. You know, the survivor who hides their zombie bite and gets everyone else killed through their hubris. They didn't choose to be bitten by a zombie, but they did choose to harm others through their actions. Like you! You're a monster movie trope.
People like you make me depressed and sad. Would you rather I stop eating meat and just die from malnutrition? Maybe i should just die.

I oppose violence in all forms. You ending your life would be a violent act, just as you paying to have animals killed so you can eat them is a much greater violent act.
And honestly your post is giving me suicidal thoughts. Im a monster right?
Oh so then i will just stick to eating only potatoes and die that way then.
I wish you never have to suffer my condition.
