      This is NOT a mock funeral, it is a mass funeral that uses humor and creativity to grapple with the incomprehensible violence and suffering we have locked in to our coming future.

        You’re quite right on the nail except some are already suffering from climate change and the poorest countries will be the most unprepared to try countering it, not to say countries that will be consumed by the rising sea levels too. And the richest countries causing the most damage goes after climate activists instead of discussing more social justice, we can already see some media outlets try to sham some of them too.

    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.
