        I’ve noticed a huge uptick in that type of phrasing ever since the tea party bullshit, but it probably started long before that, I know they have people specifically working on this type of thing and unfortunately they seem to be very good at it

    If demand for gas was so great, they wouldn’t have to make up these schemes. This is an attempt to favour more polluting businesses over less polluting businesses.

    I just learned today about Lochner v. New York:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochner_v._New_York

    Where apparently laws limiting working hours to 10 hours a day and 60 hours a week were declared an unconstitutional violation of the workers’ rights.

    Well if it’s a right you shouldn’t have to pay for it then right?

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.
