    Your Venezuelan cousins must be happy to see their country get sold out to a hostile foreign power. That is true ignorance. I’m sorry.

      I said something similar to my girlfriend and she said “you just don’t understand.” Maybe. But I don’t think she nor my cousins understand either.

      This is imperialism at it’s most brazen. Trump is now emboldened and thinks, “I did what Putin could not. And I did it faster. Some say it’s the fastest. I don’t know if it’s the fastest, but maybe it is…”

      Mark my words, he’ll do it again. And I think it will be to invade Mexico to “fight narco-terrorists.” He wouldn’t depose Sheinbaum, nor do I think he could easily *, but he’ll definitely make incursions over the border.

      * - I asterisked because I know the “Akshuallies” are going to come. Yes, I didn’t go down every single possible road in this scenario.

      EDIT: Since I posted that I saw this: https://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/somethings-gonna-have-to-be-done-with-mexico-trump-floats-further-intervention-to-fox-friends/

      Mexico is next.

      A lot of people also celebrated Trump’s 2nd term. Same thing really. You will find those same fools anywhere on earth. Most people on this planet are just really fucking dumb.

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.
