    The issue is that LNG coming from Qatar is blocked. So if countries go back to coal, it would be replacing LNG, which is about as dirty as coal anyway. Great that it does not happen, but still worth a thought.

      What’s going on instead is large-scale adoption of solar

        Sure, but you would expect a slow down in the decline of coal.

          Maybe. Hard to tell yet from early data.

    It takes time to start up mines and plants again and everyone is really hoping that their bet that it’s a short term interruption pays off.

    Also doing solar, but that was popular before epic fail.

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.
