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.

The goddamned things are built so much like shit that the fucking back wheels will break off from a front end crash...

Like, how the fuck does that even happen like that?

Worst. Vehicle. Ever.

Did you finish watching that video?

It has independent rear wheel steering.
That's the rear wheels turning in, because they're meant to pivot.

If you watched the whole video, he later dismisses it as the back wheels can turn as well, so they probably just folded in without them necessarily breaking

Now I'm no genius, but I am something of a mechanic, with experience in suspension systems amongst many other things.

I can assure you that there is absolutely no reason for a non-impacted wheel to 'fold in' like you said, I don't care if it has rear wheel steering or not.

That shit's just straight up broke yo.
