    Will the right-wingers realise climate change exists once their houses are swept away or they otherwise experience the wrath of climate change?

        I mean large trucks have been on earth for FOREVER and we were FINE but now they invented EVs and now it’s becoming hot ON PURPOSE. Clearly they want US to buy the cars that’s why. WAKE UP.

      Was it climate change or god? They believe in one and not the other, so… Would they still deny climate change and say it was god?

      While it’s infuriating to see millions of people denying the existence of climate change, formerly known as global warming, the fact is that we are in the 6th mass extinction, a truth that billions of people from all ideologies are afraid to face.

      Oh boy they will. But it won’t be like ‘Oi, climate change is real, let’s do something’, it will be more like they always knew and didn’t want the public to panic, didn’t want to change the economy so the people would enjoy soy sauce for a few more years

      They will blame the refugees who lost their homes instead.

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.
