    Well, that’s a great way to get a really bad infection.

    Flood waters contain everything from sewage to dead animals to parasites.

      Rafts of fire ants are also a sure way to liven things up

        Fire ants rafting is a sure sign there is no god. At least not a benevolent, personal one.

          Edit: The downvotes are making me wonder how many people didn’t get past the first sentence before skipping the rest.

          God is God to all living things, fire ants included. And did He not say, ‘Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.’ (Genesis 9:3). And lo, the fire ants rejoiced, and partook of his great bounty (college students sitting in flood waters), and were fruitful.

    Jesus, that’s the basest of bacterial soups he’s basting in. That’s sewage and corpse water.

    Necrotizing fasciitis isn’t a single bacteria. It’s a bacteria gone wild such that the tissue dies under the stress of it. This guy’s feet and junk are in that mess.

    Horrifying outcomes may happen.

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.
