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.

piers anthony Maybe that's this? https://hipiers.com/newsletter/2021-mayhem/

"for my serious novel Deep Well. I read Geothermal Engineering Fundamentals and Applications, by Arnold Watson."

P.S. Damn, he's looking old these days.

I got word back that they are still shopping it around to publishers and no one wants to pick it up. He mentions in his blog a lot that the publishers won't take anything from xanth nowadays.

yeah its like I see stuff about him researching it but can't find it being sold so im wondering now if he completed it. I have a feeling it might be one that takes more time like the geoodessey series.
