      Remember that time we had a carbon tax and it was one of the most effective carbon reduction policies ever? That lasted about 5 minutes before the mining companies banshee cry deafened us all and we got one of the most regressive and wasteful governments voted in who immediately repealed it amongst a lot of other shitfuckery. Great times.

        Sounds like a cautionary tale Canada should listen to. We have an election sort of coming up. I really don’t want to lose our carbon tax.

    The current plan for reducing fossil fuel exports to 0 as soon as possible is to dig it all out of the ground and sell it as quickly as possible. Truly genius if you think about it

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.
