In the US Republican primary debate, moderators ask for a show of hands of how many candidates believe in human-caused climate change. Not a single candidate raises their hand.

    Funny you should see it as masculine stupidity when the rest of us see it as infantile stupidity

      Dude, if the shoe fits…

      Infantile is throwing tantrums like that orange idiot in the USA.

      Toxic masculinity is throwing your weight around so everyone know how “big” you are.

      It is not rocket science.

      Nice appeal to authority there: who exactly is the “rest of us”? At the moment it’s just you.

        I, too, view what they’re doing as infantile, so there’s that

          An entirely valid opinion, voiced in a manner that in no way attempts to invalidate my opinion.

          Thank you.

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:
