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.

From the Video description

Climate change can feel completely overwhelming. It can feel impossible to stay on top of, but it doesn’t have to be this way! Let me show you how I stay up to date with all things climate.

Well for one, I definitely don't watch YouTube videos that should be a brief article.

Alas, Simon Clark is a youtuber. If you don't mind the lack of context, all the links to the different sources of climate news and science journals he uses are in the description.

Oh neat! I'm checking them out now. I especially like the podcast, I've been getting deep into podcasts recently.

I never understood why some people are so gung-ho about podcasts until I started listening to a couple of good ones. It's like the TVTropes effect, you're listening to a good podcast and then they have a guest on who also has their own podcast so you start listening to them, and then it snowballs...

One podcast I recently found is called Climate Now and it's a great briefer on the nuts and bolts of climate policy and actions.
