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.

IMHO, probably not; musk seems interested in his own finances, and on pitting people against minorities so that they don't see him stealing from them.

Yeah, I get you

I just didn't want to give him the credit, that he is the actual genius behind the companies, like he always wants to present himself

Because every time he talks about something, I at least know something about (like self-driving cars), I know, he is just talking shit and absolutely doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.

So the sentence, that he, like he himself, slaps together cars, was the drop that brought me to that answer.

Wasn't really against you, I just don't want to promote his wanted image of a genius inventor
