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.

Yup, details of the lease, which was already waiting for action but was being delayed and Manchin wanted to get moved forward. It was well documented at the time the negotiations were going on. Well done. you are almost there.

the...4 leases. 2 of which were barred by Biden, and 2 brand new leases. You're not reading what Im writing anymore.

Yup, which is why Manchin demanded they be aloud to move forward. still 100% not a part of the bill as they were existing lease sales which simply were being held up.

No, what you wrote is tripe and I read the text and researched the topic. You've no leg to stand on outside of some pure "I don't like how the sausage is made!" immature idealism.
