(www.theguardian.com)
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.
I still don't understand why JSO is bothering common folk with their protests, go block politicians - you know, the people who YOU want to make the treatise to stop the use of oil!
I agree with what they want (though it would've been nice if they had a plan how to slow down our oil use, but then again they're no experts on that), but I do think they're being dumb on how to achieve it. You don't see Union Strikers block off a highway to get what they want, they'll instead block off some plant where they work - now that makes sense! Go bother politicians.
The problem with "they should have a plan" is that we have viable plans and nobody that's currently benefiting from oil will take any steps towards implementing them.
