I'm not convinced there will be as many humans left by 2100. The ultra-capitalists certainly don't seem to be slowing down their consumption at all; fewer humans means fewer sources of emissions, so maybe the climate will right itself by pure attrition, on its part, and pure apathy/ignorance/greed on ours.

Yeah but all that probably gets cancelled out by the emissions of a WW3

Nuking the global economy into the ground could lower emissions. WW3 would also stop tourism, so further reduction...

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.
