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.

MODERATORS
They already said Conservatives, it’s in the title.
Congrats. Seriously, it takes a very special kind of cultivated idiocy to fucking celebrate carbon dioxide in fucking 2024
At what point does a government need to put its citizens in so much danger that the latter realizes this is class warfare?
A significant part of the Alberta electorate cheers this loudly. They are noticing exactly the things they want to notice, unfortunately.
Too bad science doesnt care how we classify things. CO2.will do what it does no matter what you say it is.
Former Albertan here. One of the big reasons I bought and EV was specifically to extend a clear middle finger that shithole wanna-be Mini-MAGA government. Alberta as a place is great, as a people, eh.. needs a bit of work, but as a legislative assembly, it's essential Mordor with coal-rolling orcs.
Fuck 'em.
Sounds like Florida
Maybe have the UCP leaders celebrate CO2 by crowding into a sealed room pumped full of this harmless non pollutant.
Goddamn Alberta. You're taking away all the wrong lessons from US politics
It’s Texas without the guns
They have guns, too. Thankfully firearms are federally regulated.
"Congratulations everyone! We've proved without a doubt that the earth is flat. What should we do next?"
Burn it to the ground!
Did you mean "burn it to the edges!" ?
Lmao yes, thank you.
"It's what plants crave" I've heard before. While true, global warming makes it harder for human sustainability. "Preserving our way of very specific economic domination for a few extra quarters" loses our way of life and sustainable economic opportunity.
Christ. What fucking maroons.
Yeah, we almost voted these guys out a year ago. BC just had the NDPs come back onto power and I am hoping the same thing happens here in a few years. These conservatives are by for the worst politicians we have ever had and many Albertans know it.
And far too many are okay with it. I met a former Albertan who unironically said we need more CO2 in the atmosphere.
In a few months again: pray for our wildfires!
"We must prioritize policies that protect our economy and our way of life. CO2 is an essential nutrient for mass, driving growth and boosting plant production. According to the CO2 Coalition, higher CO2 levels have led to healthier crops and improved food security worldwide,” said a UCP member speaking in favour of the policy who cited the notorious CO2 Coalition.
Reminds me of the joke where 100% of people who consumed H2O die.
The US in 3-days: “Hold my beer.”

Well, that is the core of conservatism (the first bit).
The flaming leopards are going to become obese.
