    Will someone remind Al that there’s too much profit to be made to stop now?

      Reminder, Al Gore has made a shit load of money talking about how humans have fucked the environment. He has also used that money to buy houses that consume more energy than a city block, and flies around the globe for talks weekly, causing more emissions while making money off taking bad about people who destroy the planet.

        Um that is way off. Most of his money including to buy houses come from his wife.

          He has a personal fortune of $300 million+, and gets paid roughly $100k per speaking engagement or appearance. If his wife makes more money than him then their household wealth is rubbing close to the billion mark.

          Sounds like a real every man, environmental hero…

    I mean, we’ll never do it under capitalism, Gore. So you good with dismantling capitalism?

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.
