    It’s pretty funny since green is the colour of Islam.

    But that’s great news, I wish more people would do the same thing

      The main issue is that a bunch of the petrostates use religious patronage to prop up their ruling families.

    So I’m a Green Party member in the UK and there are quite a lot of Green Muslims, and now more due to Labour’s islamophobia and backing of genocide. The Muslim Greens group on social media share a lot of things about environmental Muslim practices and environmentally focused parts of the Qur’an. I’m atheist but find it incredibly interesting.

      It’s pretty common for religions to say something about taking care of the environment — it’s generally a prerequisite for human survival.

        Christianity doesn’t seem too bothered, with many Christians being strong climate change deniers, even though you’d think they’d take more care of what’s basically God’s Creation and the idealistic image of Eden as a garden.

          There are multiple pieces of Christian scripture which call out the duty of the faithful to be good shepherds of God’s creation.

          They often aren’t emphasized in most modern sects, but they are certainly part of the theology.

          It really is. The bible has quite a few passages calling for environmental protection. That means that most Christian churches call for environmental protection.

          Or they see climate change as a sign of the end times and don’t give a shit. They’re going to heaven, after all.

    It’s rare to see such positive news. I myself an Indonesian and didn’t know about this. Thanks for sharing

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.
