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.

You copied that from https://www.thedailybeast.com/kamala-harris-ag-office-tried-to-keep-inmates-locked-up-for-cheap-labor

And from what I see, they seem to the only ones saying that it has anything to do with cheap Labor. If you can find a real source though that includes court transcripts, I'll believe it

Secondly, non violent offenders could include criminals like Trump and other tax fraud people. Ie. The people who regularly get a free pass. Non violent does not mean innocent. It also includes people who scammed elderly people as an example

What kind of message does that send letting a lot of them loose simply because they are short spaced? They should earn porole

It's entirely reasonable for anyone who cares about the law would fight to enforce sentencing. In fact, lawyers regularly defend people they don't believe are innocent (but the law is the law, and everyone deserves the right to a proper defence)

Also, posting stuff like this in large font is just annoying. It doesn't make it credible, it just makes it bigger

I called it.

For all of our sake, I also hope this impotent, focus grouped, historically weak candidate that was forced down our throats undemocratically can somehow be enough to defeat the actual douchebag who just survived an assassination attempt. The difference is that: Unlike most libs on here, I refuse to LIE about her abysmal track record doing anything other than fighting as hard as she can for the military industrial complex.

Good day, madame or sir.

What did you call?

You didn't post any reference backing up your claim and now you're giving yourself a pat on the back without actually doing anything. Where have I seen that behaviour before? Hmmm

I needed to google your quote. And I could only find 1 reference.. and it didn't actually have any real references. You made the claim, let's see the reference

The only thing you did was post an opinion in an annoying font. WATCH ME USE ALL CAPS. TALKING IN ALL CAPS MAKES WHAT I'M SAYING ALL TRUE!!!!!!

I thought I'm on lemmy, but apparently, it feels like I'm on Reddit or Facebook

are you, as you seem, just a bullet-point, head-in-sand policy wonk that blindly accuses anyone who has any intellectual honesty against your team of being a Trumper?

Called it.

Why would I waste time with someone who would, for example, excuse utter silence on Gaza for one?
