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.

I'm going to need to actually watch this before judging. Anyone seen this particular podcast in question? The sponsor, if true, is damning.

Have we reached a point of podcast saturation yet? How many more can organically start and actually sustain a fan base? If we throw an ideal host to discuss energy discoveries will anyone even listen?

What podcast appearances does this refer to? This seems unsubstantiated without concrete examples. Might be an AI prompted to write incendiary articles.

It seems legitimate enough. Wasn't hard to verify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/on-energy/

Did you read the article? It specifically describes the podcast hosted by Chris Hadfield.

Am... Am I an AI prompted to write incendiary comments on Lemmy??

Maybe, maybe we all are, who could say 🤷
