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.

I'm sad no form of protest will ever be acceptable for people who want to demonize climate activists.
No I'm specifically using the word "useless".
Lets just burn down Evil Corp's headquarters. Now that is useful.
"The only acceptable form of protest is the kind I'm too much of a coward to carry out myself"
Exactly. I never do such stuff.
Never ever mister police man.
Then go do that.
I wonder what went trough your head when you pressed Post after writing such a useless comment.
You sound extremely butthurt.
What the hell are you talking about? Somebody just punched the United Healthcare CEO's ticket to Hell several decades early. That enjoyed widespread support. By contrast, historical artifacts and working peoples' livelihoods have value. Meanwhile, climate activists just pull one smarmy, performative, insincere stunt after another, and not even so much as a drop of gasoline has been spilled on a single oil CEO's house.
I wouldn't pay this guy too much attention. It seems like an obvious troll account. It's 11 days old and spewing out comments at nearly one a minute. They talk down to anyone mentioning the CEO shooting while claiming "nothing will improve until the rich fear for their lives" in other posts. It's clear they're just trying to stir up shit.
Truly an individual with valuable time.
So the only form of viable protest is one where the protesters trade their lives for the lives of the rich?
Seems like big talk from a keyboard warrior.
Maybe you should go do it since you don't like how they protest.
Nah, they should frame you for it and then we'd be spared your vaporing.
