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.
They also made a web app where you can input any city and it will show you its 2080 analog: https://fitzlab.shinyapps.io/cityapp/

Cool idea, but outdated and pretty inaccurate for a lot of areas unfortunately. I’ve seen a few better versions out there.
Do you have some links?
Maybe also something that's not just US only? :-\
I’ll see if I can find what I was looking at. I haven’t seen a really perfect one though. If you want to answer a specific question about your future climate, it’s often best to just look at local predictions.
Thanks for the effort already! :-)
I think this was the best one I had found: https://climate.copernicus.eu/climate-analogues-finding-tomorrows-climate-today
Unfortunately it appears to be broken at the moment. Hopefully that is temporary.
That’s pretty nifty and easy to interpret
And they use OpenStreetMap, pretty cool
