The state is spending big on adapting to floods and rising seas, but Republicans don't want to name the cause.

    This always gets me. WTF has the Democratic Party been doing this whole time? It seems like they are always caught by surprise that conservatives are doing shitty stuff. Why is their messaging so incredibly shit? Why do they suck so bad at being the opposition?

      They don’t spend much money or effort on Florida, that’s why. Also, Conservatives are actively moving to Florida in droves (largely from California), seeing it as some kind of bastion for their extremism and bigotry. If they spent the time and effort needed to change things in Florida, the rest of the candidates across the nation would suffer.

      And as for the national efforts, Dems are still run by the same milquetoast moderates who think their privilege affords them the leeway to simply hope the extremist problem on the Right will just go away, rather than face the fact that it’s a cancer that will only grow if left unchecked.

      As for messaging, I have no idea why they suck so much at messaging. They should take a hard look in the mirror and hire some new talent.

        That’s a conspiracy theory, and demonstrably false based on voting records.

        The only similarity is in how both capitulate to wealthy lobbyists, but to whom and to what degree are still different by orders of magnitude.

          They aren’t even hiding the conspiracy, openly using scare parentheses

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.
