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.

Wow, more hostility from someone who can't defend their own argument. How typical...

You're also assuming my nationality, which is hilarious.

pretend that you can actually comprehend anything and everything that stemmed from the Latin alphabet

Nope, never did that.

while genuinely having no clue even remotely as to how things are actually read,

One doesn't need a full comprehension of every writing system in the world just to have an intelligent discussion about loan words containing diacritics, every comment you've left has been full of strawmen, red herrings, and ad hominems.

You jackasses are entirely incapable of saying “I don't know how this is pronounced”,

Scroll back a couple comments to where I said plain as day that I don't have any experience with Slovenian and therefore cannot tell you how Žižek is pronounced. Then stop hallucinating.

From the beginning, this conversation has been about you getting upset about how Türkiye is spelled. So don't attack me as some ignoramus who can't tolerate other languages.

I already told you loan words exist in English with diacritics that aren't in the English alphabet. Then you launched into a tirade like a petulant child because you couldn't find an honest way to refute my point, and your ego was too fragile to admit you had been wrong.

Digging yourself in deeper isn't going to help your case.

“I already told you loan words exist in English with diacritics that aren't in the English alphabet therefore it's okay that the diacritics have zero actual use and dragging them into English is delusional and dishonest”

I see you're legitimately having trouble grasping what has been already said to you in the thread, time and again. Insults started and continue from your side, despite your claims.

I'm no longer participating in this impromptu special Olympics. Fell free to consider yourself the winner and the most special.

I've already explained their use. You couldn't argue against that legitimately so you resorted to personal attacks. "Dragging them" into English is neither delusional nor dishonest; it happens quite frequently as I already pointed out. You're the only one here being delusional and dishonest, because you have such an inexplicable hatred for the way Türkiye is spelled. Strange...

I see you're legitimately having trouble grasping what has been already said to you in the thread, time and again.

Raw projection, plain and simple.

Insults started and continue from your side, despite your claims.

I only called you an idiot because you said that I couldn't answer a question "except from pre-existing knowledge," as if that were an insult. That's pretty idiotic.

I'm no longer participating in this

Good. Good riddance.

impromptu special Olympics.

So now you're ableist too? I hope everyone in your life knows what a hideous personality you have.

Fell free to consider yourself the winner and the most special.

Whatever you need to tell yourself in order to feel better about being plainly wrong and unable to admit it. Just go ahead and insult me more, like the petulant child that you are. Doesn't bother me at all.
