    Under the Climate Protection Act, Germany has committed itself to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 65% by 2030 compared to 1990.

    Projected data for greenhouse gas emissions show a drop of almost 64% by 2030 compared to 1990 — bringing the goal into reach. In a 2021 report, a reduction of just 49% had been expected.

    I am really positively impressed!

    That’s great news! But honestly that is the easiest part, the low hanging fruit.

    The difficult part has yet to come: becoming climate neutral.

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.
