Climate change should be seen as a shared challenge to solve together, not a political debate, write Katharine Hayhoe and Dana R. Fisher.

    It’s physics. If you trap heat things warm up. If things warm up then climate changes, as shown in the geological record and experiments as well as climate models.

    The real TLDR of this article is that talking to people in your own life is more effective and important than lobbying.

    Like everyone else in this thread my initial reaction to the article title was to rant about politics, but:

    There are many reasons, but one is the fact that polarized public discourse has made climate conversations more difficult

    • Title of the article is bit of a blunder, don’t buy the ragebait, do take on board the actual findings and talk to people about climate change.

      I’m easily baited titles that says “x need to stop y”.

      It doesn’t matter if I agree, it just never works that way.

    🤣

    If it’s not political then call it “global warming” instead of “climate change”, as the latter was pushed by conservatives to make it not sound so bad.

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.
