      Some sites break when you disable javascript, but guardian.com instead starts working.

        Thanks for the tip! I thought I had every extension for finer control, but I guess I hadn’t thought of one that just disables javascript, and you’re right, it does just work on that site.

          I’m using ublock origin to disable JS globally and re-enable it per-site from the popup. I didn’t realize it could do that until I read the manual.

            Ahh, yeah, that’s much more convenient, saves having another icon in the already crowded extension bar.

      simping for the establishment by… pointing out how the ultra wealthy produce much more emissions than most people and thus cause disproportionate climate harms that they themselves will be able to avoid many of with their massive wealth?

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.
