    That will surely lower the cost of eggs! I know people say it all the time, but like cruelty is the point. Why do this? There is no savings, no point, it’s just to be a prick.

    Off topic, but any other non-US people here, how are you reacting to the USA’s facism on hyperdrive streak?

    I don’t think the US has ever been the most popular country, but now the president is trying to eradicate palestine, disrupt European security from Russia, and plunge the world into a climate apocalypse at an even faster than before rate, I feel a lot worse about any interactions with the USA. I’ve been trying to move away from using anything US produced or owned, which isn’t particularly easy.

    Is it just me? Was I naive to think US was any better before? Am I naive in singling out the US?

      German here. We are 4 to 8 years away from Nazis becoming elected again, at least very likely. I’m looking with horror towards the US and just hope he burns it down so fast that the right shift looses it’s current drive in Europe.

        Nah, we can’t rely on external signals doing anything like that. We need to make peoples lives better. The right surge is an emotional rectioan amplified by external propaganda, but fundamentally people are right to protest against the current system which keeps impoverishing them. The conclusion of voting right wing is wrong of course.

      Hi, Aussie here. Entirely expected and unsurprising. I mean Hitler learned from the USA.

      Been watching the usa destroy everything nice about Australia for my entire life and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Good luck, please don’t our government again if we elect another socialist.

      For many of us overseas, this is seen as the US pulling back the curtain, yes. These ideas have been couched rhetoric for decades, mostly from Reagan or even earlier. The current figures just don’t know how to be subtle about it. Or perhaps, feel confident enough to believe nobody will stop them.

      This follows with the people. We’ve seen Americans make excuses for harmful policy for decades already, preoccupied with which individual social tribes to blame. I think many were (or are) hoping this extremity would prompt revolt or rebellion, but are ultimately not surprised that most Americans have simply become even more divided and hostile. Were begging you to stop it. Most of us are already convinced you won’t.

      The groundwork to make men/women left/right native/expat worker/boss Chrstian/Muslim etc blame each other for the suffering in their own communities has been laid for a long time and is now self-sustaining and making uniting against class difficult, if not impossible.

      The ridiculous military funding also makes Americans that do want to resist feel too afraid to do so. You were told it would protect you from the other social tribes, but the tribes being blamed were chosen almost exclusively for the elite’s financial or global power reasons.

      This isn’t off topic at all. What brand are the chargers currently installed? And when the armored cybertrucks are mandated government vehicles, what brand of chargers will be reinstalled? And at whose order is all of this happening?

    Everyone is focusing on musk, not realizing he’s trumps patsy. He’s the goddamn fall guy. He said some true, but unkind, things about trump and trump doesn’t forget slights. If this charade starts to crumble, he’s going to point at musk and blame him for everything.

      I think they have other fall guys lined up. Trump seems barely coherent enough to run for office, musk is pulling trump’s strings

    Shameful. Reminds me of when Reagan had the solar panels removed from the roof of the White House.

    It just makes no sense economically either. He is screwing over Elon’s own company, just to force oil onto consumers. I get the feeling that this administration is straight up doing it for the evilz. Supporting only dictators, telling every lie possible, cutting government agencies that help, while creating new ones to steal your tax anyway.

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:
