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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Ai, broooo! I'm warm
The problem is that there is really no great alternative to Googles search. Most of the other ones use Bing in the backend, which ends up being Microsoft. If anybody knows of a good search engine, which works well and is none commercial that would be great.
searXNG is a neat meta search engine and uses multiple sources
Can you run your own spidering if selfhosted?
you can add YaCy (p2p crawler) as result provider, but I'm not sure about your own crawler
There's nothing quite perfect, so I still use ddg the most often. They do pull in most of their results from bing, but they also have their own crawler and use a bunch of other search engines as sources. At least they only send the search query to microsoft, so it's better for privacy than searching directly on google or bing.
SearXNG is an open source meta search engine that compiles results from other search engines.
Marginalia and Clew are a couple of open source search engines that focus on only indexing smaller, independent, or non-commercial sites.
A lot of sites have their own search engines built in, so I'll often search directly on sites like Wikipedia or Lemmy.
There's a good overview of various search engines in this blog post.
Google results for me have been shittier and shittier over time.
I use duckduckgo mostly now. if you set your localization right it feels like you can actually find stuff again.
DuckDuckGo is ultimately just Bing though, which is what MrMakabar is complaining about
Ecosia seems to be not bad choice
Which is still Bing under the hood
I didn't know about this, but I don't use it anyway, I just saw how others praised it
Been using Kagi for about almost a year now. It is a paid search engine. Which might sound weird but if you are doing research or any job that relies on access to information, I'd say it's worth the investment.
