    Oldish news from 22,23. Trend has strengthened.

    What this mainly proves is that renewables is cheaper than coal. Even with solar imports from china, and possible local/closer supply of concrete.

      China lacks the massive oil and gas reserves the US has. The only fossil fuel they have a lot of is coal and they do use that.

    Movement towards green energy is a positive, despite countries with human rights issues and desire to conquer their neighbors. China can get personal congrats when they stop their abusive behavior.

      Plenty or legit reasons to criticize the CCP, but they are kicking solar butt.

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.
