    Just like every other dictatorships, the Trump regime wages war on knowledge and data.

    And it’s not new either: this started on day one of Trump’s “presidency”, and it should have been an ominous sign of things to come.

    Americans voted for this. What a sad, sad country.

    Watching every organization and person capitulate to this bullshit is exhausting. There’s a real cool word you can use when someone tells you to do something fucking stupid and authoritarian:

    “NO.”

      The same thing the Trump administration does every time a judge tells them to stop doing something

    Sounds like a diversion seeing that Trump is in the Epstein files.

      Yeah, destroying the planet to exacerbate wealth inequality really is a distraction from the scapegoat figurehead that has survived a hundred scandals being a child rapist. Surely this time if we focus all of our attention on the scandalproof figurehead’s scandals rather than any of the issues, we’re going to win. I know it sank two elections, but this time it’s different. Because that’s what’s really wrong with the current US administration: Not imprisoning people without trial or destroying libraries of scientific knowledge, but the figurehead having some something wrong personally.

      I guess Trump was right - when you’re a star, you can grab them by the pussy and you can do anything.

        The reason that people keep repeating it is because Epstein is the conspiracy theory that Trump’s cult is founded upon. Him denying that the list exists has caused the biggest schism in his supporters that we’ve ever seen. People made this thing their entire belief system, and now their idol is saying that it never existed and that he won’t release it. Even though his campaign was based on the promise of releasing it.

    NASA, please say you destroyed it but instead turned it over to a country who gives a shit about the world. I know there are so few of them but this is such a waste.

      Every country seems to be following America. It’s sad really. We the rest of the world are so hungry to suck on America’s test that we well do anything for it. Problem is it’s going to stop being so prosperous and we fucked ourselves for a very short term goal.

    I would say that if presidents are allowed to be this corrupt, no long-term legislation or treaties can possibly be assumed to survive in between presidencies … except that would imply that the US is still a representative democracy when the reality is otherwise.

      Yeah, if the Democrats weren’t a fucking joke of a controlled opposition, they’d be running on total rollback: declare a state of emergency and remove and detain every single Trump appointee, repeal every single executive order, reverse every single item of legislation, revoke every grant, cancel every contract signed during the Trump administration. Then ban any Trump appointee from ever holding office again, blacklist every recipient of a federal contract awarded for the first time under Trump, shut down any “nonproit” that served as a fascist front organization, and revoke the corporate charter of any corporation involved in corrupt lobbying.

    If I was in his position and absolutely had to part with the sats, I would SELL or RENT them out. Like how a genuine businessman would. This bull is stupid on all the levels.

    I have come to the conclusion that Trump is actually an alien. He is helping to prepare our planet for the arrival of his species by ensuring CO2 levels quickly reach a more tolerable level. It’s the only explanation that makes sense.

      Simulation theory is my reasoning at this point. They’re just throwing shit into the simulation now to see what happens. like a wealthy pedophile who can corrupt anything he touches and destroy people’s lives as they cheer.

      Honestly, I WOULD prefer him to be some kind of alien super agent. It is a lot less depressing than the alternative.

    If we don’t test for CO2, then no-one can complain that we have high levels of it taps forehead - that’s big, beautiful brain thinking right there.

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.
