<p>Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.</p>
<p>As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/figures/summary-for-policymakers/figure-spm-1" rel="nofollow">responsible for the warming in recent decades</a>:
