    God fucking damnit. I can’t say what I want to say here…

    But huge kudos to these soldiers keeping the information up and available.

    volunteers and former climate.gov admins got together and launched climate.us

    We really need to get the sources on all government websites on github, so we don’t need the people who built the original website.

    Anyone should be able to rehost it in less than an hour.

      How about something other than Microsoft’s computers?

        Doesn’t matter. Git is distributed

    volunteers outside the government managed to preserve copies of much of the material, which the federal government is prohibited from copyrighting

    Ugh, when are we going to fix this?

    Copyleft requires copyright. We need to force all this data to be copyleft.

    It matters because AI feeds on online data, and we don’t want AI to be biased.

    How does an NGO get a .gov?

    Edit: they didn’t. They bought climate.us

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.
