    Then she added one more layer of data — where people were getting help paying their electric bills each summer, from public programs or local organizations.

    An obvious pattern emerged. There were big clusters of dots collected in certain areas: lots of deaths, and little assistance.

    Those clusters turned out to be mobile home parks.

    Yup, the poor are first under the bus.

      We’re the first ones to starve, we’re the first ones to die

      The first ones in line for that pie in the sky

      And we’re always the last when the cream is shared out

      For the worker is working when the fat cat’s about

      And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war

      Who’s given a gun and then pushed to the fore

      And expected to die for the land of our birth

      Though we’ve never owned one lousy handful of earth

            Dropkick Murphy’s did a cover, but it was originally written by Ed Pickford a few decades earlier

    In 2018, she was brand new to ASU and tasked with finding solutions to one of Arizona’s most pressing problems: how to keep its residents from dying in the state’s ever-increasing heat.

    Live underground.

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.
