‘Climate hushing’ has swept the Democratic Party. New polling suggests it’s a mistake. Climate change might not be a top priority for voters, but keeping quiet about it might backfire.

Climate change might not be voters' top priority, but new polling suggests that emphasizing it may actually boost support for candidates.

    The DNC, no. There isn’t even a public membership list.

    There are statistics for elected Democrats in Congress though. And they really did largely stop talking about climate.

      So your article source is the same as the second source in the article in the post.

      EDIT: No, sorry, my mistake, it just attempts to reproduce the data. Good source.

      Looking at the raw files it appears they mentioned it a fuckload of times, though.

          According to the data in the link, it was averaging 3 digits in 2021, almost a third of the current rate.

            Are you looking at absolute numbers or at fraction of press releases? Because there is a big difference between the two

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.
