    The chart indicates another way to fix global warming. We could add to the atmosphere. It would take a massive amount… Maybe have boil the ocean?

        Exactly! You only have to boil so much before it starts a feedback loop and boils itself off. It’s efficiency is genius! Say it with me: “the solution to pollution is dilution.”

          I think nuclear war is maybe a better option. If we nuke the usa several imbalances are corrected:

          1. turnabout is fair play
          2. nuclear winter buys us time
          3. radiation might help new live forms that can handle living in an irradiated, heat blasted, wasteland evolve

          That way we can keep the oceans.

        Great outside the box thinking!

        I think humanity might own it…

      For sure, I mean we could reduce our emissions and try to reuse and recycle. But that doesn’t sound half as fun as “boil the oceans”.

      Also think of the seafood boil we could create. Add a little creole seasoning and we also manage to solve world hunger

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.
