    I read the article. It’s not so much “errors” as “lies”.

      Yeah, but the press can’t say that in the headline or they’ll lose access

        yeah, and it’s a shame. “omissions?” Nope, lies. “Factual inaccuracies?” Guess what, those are called lies. The 500 hand-picked climate change deniers who wrote the report? How much do you want to bet the majority of those bastards know exactly how badly they’re lying, but prefer to keep doing so and pick up their paycheck

        More likely they’ll have another lawsuit from Donny and the Ghouls to deal with.

      Are they trying to blame this one on “coding” as well?

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.
