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.

What should they do?
Protest in the designated area so that we ignore them more easily? But not somewhere where it blocks cars? Maybe stop chanting to keep the noise down?
The normal protests don't seem to work.

They could attack the actual guilty parties. I remember a group recently getting on a roof of a manufacturing building, for a company who sold weapons to Israel, and sprayed stuff inside to contaminate their cleanrooms and production areas. That's pretty rad.

Edit: I had trouble finding an article with video of the roof breach, but I did find a longer video than what was previously posted, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqjdfT5IaOE

So everyone should individually decide to luigi mangione CEOs?

Because when they organize they are labeled looters and rioters.

You expect climate activits to always perform exterme protests that end their life? Sounds like big talk from someone who sits behind a keyboard.

What are you even talking about? What I'm saying is, if you're committed to vandalizing something, you can target those working against your cause. It's baffling that you made this jump to murdering CEOs in a discussion about vandalism.

E: Lol, I clicked on your profile and your latest comments are calling for CEOs to fear for their lives. It's obvious now you're doing some projecting.

You will make any excuse you need to justify hating climate protesters because you have been conditioned to.

Like a dog that salivates when it hears a bell.

Are you serious? I'm celebrating the actions of protesters in all my comments in this thread. People throw paint on Taylor Swift's plane and I tell them good job. People spray contaminants into the facilities of those supporting war crimes and I cheer.

Meanwhile, you warn against organizing while blaming others for being anti-protester. Once again I'm going to accuse you of projection. You're an 11-day old account posting every few minutes and blaming others for exactly what you're doing. I'm tagging you as a troll account because it's obvious that's what you are.
