    You can literally see the giant brown fart cloud of garbage when you come up over the Grapevine into Los Angeles from the North.

        Family Vacation by Kolanaki

        Finally! It’s summer, hey-oh!

        Dad’s got the tickets to Disney Land, our suitcases are packed,

        Get in the car and away we go.

        We’re almost there, oh what a thrill,

        But what’s that I see, up over the hill?

        A giant brown fart cloud over the city,

        Making everything smelly, ugly and shitty.

        “What is that, dad?” I asked in confusion,

        “Nothing to worry about, just the pollution.”

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.
