      Yes! Cram everyone in apartments! People living on all sides is the dream! Who could possibly want land or space between them and neighbors!? Eliminate choice, push everyone into a box.

        Um, did you forget that duplexes and town-homes exist?

        I believe the term for that is NIMBY.

      Yeah, no. I never want to hear my neighbor through a common wall or ceiling.

          I have never, in my life, seen an apartment or condo with that level of stc or iic rating, much less one installed correctly. The only place I’ve been in with that kind of treatment is a SCIF for TS/SCI functions and you could build a whole good damned single family house for that kind of money.

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.
