    Using loose leaves is so easy and tea shops have so many great fruit combinations with their teas I don’t understand why so many people still use the bland tea bags

        You can buy a tea sieve, a little metal thingy where you put the tea leaves in. You can also just dump the leaves in a pot make tea and filter them out with a fine metal sieve. Most often where you get the loose leaves thou also get the tools. Look for tea shops. Or check online on tea specialised pages of your country.

      There isn’t a tea shop within >100 miles (160km) of me, so there is that. There is a café where you can buy tea at the gift shop.

            You and some friends could start a tea shop worker owned cooperative in your area. How far you want to take that (turn your back yard into a shop if you live in a suburb, or rent a space in downtown) is up to you, but if you think your area has demand for a tea shop, there are some great guides on how to start a worker owned coop! :D

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.
