Climate activist Thunberg has also been fined twice in Sweden and detained by police or removed from protests in Norway and Germany this year.

    With fossil giants continuing to endanger our very civilisation and governments cracking down on not them but on non-violent activists, what are they expecting to happen next?

      It’s been so long since there was an actual violent uprising in the western world that I think the ruling class actually believes that they’re immune from the guillotines. Or they think that they’ve placated the population enough with social media so a violent uprising isn’t possible.

      We’ve had climate activists in court here (UK), where the judge has jailed them for mentioning climate change crisis as a defence. Fucking unreal. They cannot mention the reason why they committed their crimes.

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.
