For most countries around the world, sourcing energy entirely from wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower by 2050 would reduce their energy needs and costs, improve air quality, and help slow climate change, according to a study in Environmental Science & Technology.

    That’s the opinion of one of the authors of the study. it is not a substantiated by the study itself.

      Its not just one. This is pretty common knowledge among people in their field. These are specialists in their field, their opinions don’t just come from nothing, they are informed by information from the studies.

        your first link doesn’t speak to your claim at all. your second link depends on the same author.

          Here’s a link to the research article itself with all the data from which they drew their conclusion: https://josephpoore.com/Science 360 6392 987 - Accepted Manuscript.pdf

            they are misusing the LCA data. since it was gathered through disparate methodologies, it can’t be combined as they have done.

            edit: regardless, this paper doesn’t support the claim you made.

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.
