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.

Palestine can't live forever if the middle east is too hot and dry to support human life. If what this article says about Biden's climate wins is true, then he will have done more for Palestine than any previous POTUS. Which is still next to fuck all, but I would consider it a bigger deal than his participation in the current genocide. We are talking about genocide of one human ethnicity versus genocide of all human ethnicities including the first one. There's no contest. And yeah, it would be very easy for Biden to genocide zero ethnicities, but I'm not Biden so I don't get to make that choice. I only get to choose Biden or Trump.
What you just communicated, is one of the most psychologically damaged things I've ever seen communicated on social media.
What in the chicken fried fuck are you talking about.
You are just pro-genocide dude. You are parroting what the Nazis parroted in their genocide of the Jews. That its good for them. That its better this way. You've lost your god damned mind and need to seek real professional help.
Yup, people who argue that Biden shouldn't be criticised for his genocide because "Trump is worse" are just doing genocide denial.
Even if you take the stance that he has to beat Trump to prevent an even worse climate disaster, his genocide might stop him beating Trump. He is choosing genocide and supporting fascism overseas rather than beating fascism at home.
People go on about how much we need to beat Trump but I'm pretty convinced that Biden and the DNC don't really want to beat Trump.
That's also why threatening to not vote Biden is useless - he won't care. Vote for him and force him to spend another 4 years disappointing and radicalising his own base against the US empire.
If beating Trump was the priority, you don't run Biden as a candidate.
It's so obviously true but libs can't accept it so they just come with the downvotes.
Oh I don't worry about these narcissistic, scared, desperate haters.
They've relegated themselves to the dustbin of history with the fact that their world view is unable to accurately predict future states of the world.
Are you saying I have a mental illness because I disagree with you on politics?
There is a line where something ceases to be a difference in politics and becomes a person advocating for and justifying the eradication of a people.
That's you.
Your on the other side of that line.
Its no longer a difference of politics but a question of if you regard other humans as humans or not. and your on the wrong side of that answer. And like with the "paradox of tolerance", if you aren't willing to accept the humanity of other people being inherently valuable, no one should be obligated to treat yours as much. In other words, if you can't accept the humanity of another people and this genocide is "justified" to you, no one is obligated to respect you as a human, because you've betrayed that social contract.
I didn't accept the genocide of Palestinians. In fact, I'm trying to stop the West Bank from being bombed as well. And you're not.
Also you didn't answer my question. Are you saying I have a mental illness?
