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.

our ~~FDA~~ federal oversight of the food industry was already captured by industry. Have you seen that they feed piglets other pigs shit instead of just giving them antibiotic shots because it's cheaper? We have no eggs because we are the stupid country that doesn't bother to innoculate chickens.

we aren't going from good to bad we are going from bad to worse.

The FDA has nothing to do with either of these topics.

Feeding a fecal slurry to inoculate piglets is practical and typically directed by a company veterinarian due to a viral disease. Judicious use of antibiotics is directed under a VFD by the FDA and would not be applicable in this case because in most cases viral diseases aren't treated by antibiotics.

Georgia, one of the top egg producing states in the US along with several other states were hit hard with avian influenza. The density of the US poltry industry (proximity of large farms in a small area) combined with migratory water fowl and a rapidly mutating virus is why we have no eggs. There is currently no effective avian influenza vaccine.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

you're defending feeding piglets shit.

i appreciate the correction on the agencies but you can fuck right off

I think you misunderstand. I'm not defending anything. I am clarifying that its not just shoving pig feces at pigs for no reason or for cruelty. They are feeding fecal material to prevent mass mortalities from disease.

Its not unlike fecal transplants in humans. Are you angry at that as well?
