    casual snack

    I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but casual snack?

        You’re just looking at it from a different angle, that’s all

        I’m 6’2", wouldn’t refer to it as a casual snack. When I hear casual snack, I’m thinking like an orange or a protein bar or something, not a whole-ass burger. Yeah, it’s not massive, but not a small snack either

          An orange weighs about 150 grams on average

          A mcdouble is about 165

          So yeah, casual snack

            Weird comparison.

            A mcdouble is about 400 calories. Whereas a 150g orange is about 75.

              Not at all, they’re about the same size and mass

              We don’t eat based exclusively off caloric value and you know it

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.
