If the DNC were an NFL wide receiver, the sports media world would be doing 24/7 coverage on approaching the record for most touchdown passes dropped in a single season and the head coach would be on the hot seat if not fired mid season for continuing to start them

If the DNC were an MLS striker, the sports media world would be doing 24/7 coverage on approaching the record for most negative G-xG in a single season and the manager would be in the hot seat, if not fired midseason, for continuing to start them.

The party has been bought by lobbyists. Go figure.

The DNC is just as owned by the fossil-fuel lobby as they are by AIPAC.

The DNC is an indirectly elected body. Some members are surely bought off. Many are not. Their actual power is remarkably slight, and they can't dictate what candidates or elected officials say or do

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.
