    You’re a fucking hypocrite if you’re a so called environmentalist and not vegan.

          I presented exactly the same evidence you did. your appeal to ridicule does not support your position or undermine my own.

    The tense is wrong. agriculture affected deforestation, but now deforestation is in decline. we reached a peak deforestation about 10 years ago I think.

      It’s only lower in the countries that have the privilege of exporting their livestock to countries where its expanding massively.

      It being lower now doesn’t make it past tense.

      I’m sure the orangutans of the world are very comforted that you believe deforestation is a thing of the past.

        it’s on the decline, and it will be a thing of the past in my lifetime

          That’s extremely unlikely, but it must be nice to live with such optimism.

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.
