Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Al Gore was in his 60s when he won the Nobel for his work on environmental climate change. John Kerry, the current US Climate Envoy and the guy who got us back into the Paris Accords, is almost 80. They both know more than most on the issue.
Exceptions not the rule, the majority of baby boomers are actively working against climate change and technology
Perhaps in your imagination. We've passed the largest legislation for climate change ever, plus the CHIPS Act has brought high tech manufacturing and R&D back to the US.
That legislation is gonna accelerate climate change.
For sure...changing to a non carbon based society will accelerate climate change.,wait....
Let me know when we make that change
The bill provided the money for that change.
Problem is it provided more money for climate accelerating things. Like more road infrastructure. Hoping for EV's but americans are still trending to larger and larger gas guzzling trucks and SUVs.
Plus opening up new oil and gas extraction leases.
What you think is road infrastructure is actually stuff like the $100 million that they are going to spend on developing dependable chargers for EVs. With tax credits and manufacturers wanting to sell new product the EV market should thrive in a few years
As far as oil leases go, sometimes you have to give to get a vote. That's sausage making.
Ah sorry i was lumping in the previous infrastructure bill, i forgot there were two. It was $110 billion for road infrastructure.
Inflation Reduction Act.
Right. The infrastructure investment act happened too though, also with Bidens support.
Yes, it was a bipartisan bill.
And there are/were younger, more energetic, and more knowledgeable options than both of them. The dinosaurs don't have unique skills, they're just names we've known for years. We have a country of 330M, there are plenty of talented and capable people to choose from.
They don't give Nobels to your more knowledgeable people do they?
They give Nobels to people whose names are known. It wasn't a recognition of brilliance, it was a recognition of impact. Put a younger, smarter, and more vibrant leader in place and they get it instead.
Correction. They don't give Nobles to people who don't do things. But, no skin off my nose. If you have a younger, smarter, and more vibrant leader put them up for election and quit screaming at the clouds about age.
