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:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Oh. Well I can’t say I’ve heard of that issue before in the context of nuclear power generation, but it makes sense. And, is indicative of a pretty serious strategic resource issue, given which direction temps are going these days.
Edit: oof, also exacerbated by:
