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.

Climate change is real. We all know that. But, Jordan Peterson does not. Today, let's go through the science and see if we can convince him.

I was reluctant to watch because Jordan Petersen. Hence my admittedly uninformed comment. :)

Yeah, yknow, if you haven’t watched this channel, I would recommend it. The analysis is good, the delivery is fun enough. But the outright jokes are…pretty bad. The actual jokes are few and far between, mostly right before and after sponsor breaks, or at the beginning and end of the show. But they’re just so silly to the point of being not that funny. It’s hard to explain. Because I like a lot of “dumb” comedy. Stella, wet hot American summer, aunty Donna, etc. The complexity of the jokes isn’t he problem…I just don’t think they’re funny at all. Does anyone who watches Cody actually think so (that also happens to be reading this comment)?

All that said, the show is still good.
