We need to stop arguing and start working together on a crucial climate solution.

    Another article here: https://www.ijpr.org/environment-energy-and-transportation/2023-11-17/california-reduces-payments-for-rooftop-solar-power-for-second-time-in-a-year

    It feels a lot of this will be worked around by changing how some of this is wired up?

      Ok, so it’s better than i feared, but still really bad. The article was vague on how multi site business weee effected, but did note that any apartment common areas still have to buy at full market rate even if the apartment building has solar, as do any buildings not on the same meter. All in the name of perserving some of the highest rates in the country, becuse some providers don’t like the cut n their profits of having to pay equally to small solar providers, but also don’t want to move to the more common properly priced line acess plus useage model becuse not enough profit.

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.
