    He’s a right dodgy cunt. We didn’t even elect the corrupt fuck. Actually fuming. He’s completely in the pockets of oil companies. His wife’s company made a $1.5bn deal with BP six weeks prior to confirming the new oil and gas licenses.

      I can’t find anything corroborating what you said. Do you have a source?

      He made one of the biggest early documentaries about global warming soon after losing the election, An Inconvenient Truth, and has devoted his life to climate change activism. All I’m seeing are reports that he spent a lot of effort making sure his investments are green.

      edit: Got it, it’s about Rishi Sunak! That makes a lot more sense.

        The person you’re replying to is talking about Rishi Sunak, not Al Gore.

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.
