      It’s going to take increasing the size of the Supreme Court so that the judges who are bought off don’t have the power to block it

    Heh. Now I don’t think you’re going to make a whole lot of friends seizing company assets, but this IS kinda funny.

      What company assets are you even referring to? This is about seizing profits, you know like fines and taxes already do. I think you’d make a lot of friends seizing profits from these already subsidized companies that are doing great harm to the biosphere, but you do you.

      Oil and gas companies have already made themselves enemies of the planet and everyone on it so honestly they can fuck right off.

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.
