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.

Hopefully the texture improves with the newer formulas. I'm lactose intolerant and started buying the Daiya brand a few years ago. It's been great as long as I use it in something where it can fully melt. If it's not melted, the texture is all weird and just kind of unappealing.

But that does keep me from standing over the sink and eating handfuls of it at 2am, so maybe that weird texture is for the best? ๐Ÿ˜†

Honestly, IMO Daiya is off even if it is melted. It's just kinda... gluey? It's got a okay cheese like taste, as well as a cheese like texture, but it's somehow way too sticky at the same time.
