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.

Please don't dox yourself, but where are you finding 55p loaves? It's almost double that where I am (South West England).

The cheapest loaf in Aldi. I wonder if its better or worse for you than the more expensive ones. Cheapest ingredients but also less stuff added to it to change the texture of it.

I have mostly stopped eating supermarket bread though. It probably isn't very good for you and its cheaper to eat oats.

So now my lunches are oats I grind up at home to a coarse flour, dried fruit/nuts and just add some water. Although lately at work I use the free milk in the fridge because its cold.
