AAA said Labor Day travelers can expect the highest gas prices ever for this time of year. The national average for regular gas was $4.14 on Sunday.

    I lowered my food cost with this one simple trick: I stopped eating.

    You could always buy an EV or e-bike.

    Well, that has always been true. But US rather went to war.

    That’ll be great in my walkable city… Oh wait, it’s not walkable, and neither is most of the US. And it’s dangerous for cyclists on top of that, so the energy secretary can feel free to be a role model and show us all how it’s done.

    I doubt he wants to let go of his private jet flights though.

      Maybe it is time to either fight for a future that deserves that name - or leave the US. All of your ancestors (including the First Americans, ten thousand years ago) came there because they followed a quest for a better life.

      Also, 15 minute cities are a globalist plot to steal our precious bodily fluids. /s

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.
