The victorious conservatives and the surging far-right both are big fans.

    Drugs must be good, otherwise people wouldn’t do them

    Yes, that is why people unironically do drugs.

    As for nuclear energy, it is cost competitive with renewables, and cheaper than fossil fuels. I’m not going to bother giving you links to supporting studies though, because let’s be honest, you’re not interested in changing your mind, and I don’t argue with science deniers who are religiously hellbent on preconceived notions.

      The point is that societies or governments should have more foresight than just to the next high.

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.
