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

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Oh, I picked up the sarcasm at the very end... It's just not well applied.

Sarcasm doesn't work well as a tool to advocate... It's great for advocating against though...

You seem to love sending absolute walls of text

That’s fair. Sarcasm can be misunderstood and places the work of interpretation on the reader.

I’m not really the most concise writer but complex issues can’t be easily discussed in the length of a tweet.

THIS IS NOT SARCASM :(

Tell you what, let’s meet in the middle. I’ll work on my writing skills and you work on your reading comprehension and attention span.

THIS IS SARCASM :D

I’m sorry if this got a little mean/heated. I just get really mad about certain issues. We’re on the same team and that’s what matters.

THIS IS NOT SARCASM : (

Man I get heated too, I'll happily meet you in the middle.

Someone pointed out to me that I was too quick to make angry comments so I've been working on sending neutral or positive ones instead....

Still working on it.
