    China produces over 80% of the world’s solar panels. Shouldn’t they be ahead of everyone else?

      The rest of the world shouldn’t be producing only 20% of the world’s solar panels.

    The US makes up half of the G7 population. Given Trump, the G7 are always going to fall behind China. Add to that a bunch of the countries having relativly clean grids and you probably not going to see massive deployments.

      That population figures surprises me. But Wolfram Alpha says it’s roughly correct, ie 44% https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=population+of+USA+vs+population+of+G7+countries

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.
