The irony is that your negative comment ultimately supports them doing so because you're against any solution, but you do not bring any viable alternative into the discussion. Just stopping carbon emissions isn't enough, the can of worms is wide open, we need active solutions to sequester carbon dioxide rapidly.

Holy shit, a straw man and a downvote. I may not recover from this.

Wow, you read a LOT into my comment that wasn't there. By all means, though, carry on with whatever argument you're having with me in your head. I'm too busy to participate but that definitely shouldn't prevent you from really having at me.

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.
