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.

These are our forests. They belong to the US people. They're being stolen from us. For private profit of a few.
It's an American tradition.
I mean, as the other guy pointed out, you as a people stole the fucking lot and literally massacred thousands upon thousands of people to do it.
Shoe's on the other foot now, eh?
Both times it was the government to the greatest extent.
"The government" offered money for the task, and thousands took that money and got on with the job.
"The Government" is people. Usually the worst, most manipulative self-serving people. It does what other people let it get away with.
You stole that whole country
"They're gonna chop down national forests"
"bUt WhAT aBoUt ThE iNdIaNs???"
bruh
more like ‘now you care? lol’
Sorry I didn't care 400 years ago. I'll try harder.
How many cared when it was decided there would be an oil pipeline through the pittance they were relegated to? More land stolen, and everything around it polluted in time to add insult to injury.
Did you care then, just a few years ago?
I mean, people didn't do nothing.

Not near enough to actually change a damn thing though, was it?
I mean shit, the company responsible is now trying to take down Greenpeace -the entire entity- in court over the whole affair, it is that confident in how fucked the US judicial system is.
They got to choose where to hold a trial with global ramifications, and tainted the entire possible jury pool by restricting it to some poxy little oil town that would cease to exist if not for the oil industry.
How many of you turned out to protest that?
that’s better than nothing but that’s self interest and farmers were right to be worried
none of that changes anything on a national level nor changed the actual outcome so the criticism is still valid
it’s happening to native lands in the US while we speak, the fact you are not even aware earns the ‘lol’
Americans get real mad when confronted with their hypocrisy.
yep
The opinion of people who write like this can't be take seriously
👍
Whataboutism.
2 wrongs don't make a right.
The point is that you admit your wrongs.
As they clearly can't and get very defensive, as hypocrites do.
