      Unfortunately the rest of the world doesn’t, yet still has to suffer it. Right when we need to be doing everything we can to save the planet, this guy will deliberately accelerate its destruction out of sheer pettiness.

      And the majority of the USA still doesn’t like him or want him, even if he wins the election.

      It’s about decarbonization policy, which I consider on topic

        Trump is not in charge and so it’s more about US elections rather than climate policy

        I don’t think that if we start posting every bullshit said by every politician around the world the sub would still be useful

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.
