President-elect Donald Trump is now poised to once again withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement, and to begin rolling back President Biden’s climate regulations in favor of his “frack, frack, frack and drill, baby, drill” energy plan.

      We are keeping our carbon cap and trade system here in Washington at least. We will be helping world CO2 emissions go down 0.3% (~100 million tons out of the 35 billion tons).

      When I can afford it in the next few years, I plan on doing solar on the house. I drive as infrequently as possible and prefer my motorbike over my car (though my car is also only 660cc engine). I grow some of my own food and plan to steadily increase that as I learn and get better at farming. I try to buy local and regional where possible. I’ve stopped buying beef at home and it is now a special occasion food a handful of times a year.

      I’m just one dude and ultimately make little difference, but I do care.

        The only motive for education that kids are taught is for their careers and income. Education for fun or self improvement or world improvement is considered a waste of time and looked down on. That’s why you get a bunch of economy obsessed fascists voting for an orange turd.

    I’ve accepted for a while now that “this is it”. Despite all our meming about our retirement being dying in the coming water wars… reality won’t be that far off.

    As someone who always struggled to find reasons to live, I sure as hell can’t see any now. This world is a literal hell unless you’re rich. In that case it’s your little playground and we the npc’s who populate it.

    I think I’d much rather save myself the trouble and suffering.

        In 2061, I can see Halley’s Comet with my naked eyes for the second time. It’s the only thing I consistently look forward to anymore. I don’t have descendants or a partner, and my best days are clearly behind me.

          Thiel is. This is round two for Trump and his handlers have a better plan for dealing with him. Hell, they’ve probably already agreed on what to do when he dies in office. He’s way too old and in poor health for them not to have that plan already planned out.

    Trump plans on addressing climate concerns. He’s already going to put RFK Jr in charge of health and he’s going to ban vaccines. Reducing the population will help lower emissions.

      This is generally not a great way to do it, since the emissions largely coming from fossil fuel burning. Fewer people doesn’t help much if we burn even more.

      I mean he’s more likely to privatize the system more, Pfizer, Moderna , and etc all have big money and deep pockets.

      At the end of the day money is the important part for these people

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:
