Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

I know Iâm preaching to the choir but we need to do more and yesterday.
Elect me and Iâll set a goal by 2040 that we will consider a policy to begin looking at doing more.
That's crazy talk! Just mentioning that made my shares in FuckThisPlanetOilForLife drop by 0.0000001 percent! You'll ruin the economy! Think of the share holders and the rich!
We are so fucked. I focus on enjoying the time we have.
I'm just listening to assholes vroom-vrooming up and down the nearby thoroughfare day and night. Each and every one is accelerating the problems for everyone, and they can't give a fuck.
I see nascar and f1 and think: what fucking planet is this being broadcast from?
India, pakistan and mexico are literally cooking. this week we're predicting heat waves all over the US and Canada even.
How many dead people from heat will it take before someone says "Hey, you know, we could cut out a lot of emissions just by stopping the 'for funs' bullshit"?
I can offer you worse. Rolling coal is legal here. Itâs considered cool to put out lots of black exhaust.
I live in the states, it doesn't seem to be illegal here. Do we suffer from the same assholes?
To be clear, itâs legal and common especially because we donât have any emissions standards enforcement. In my state, there is no test whatsoever, and even if youâre blatantly belching clouds of smoke it is 100% tolerated. Itâs a bizarre badge of honor among some hyper conservative residents to pollute as much as possible.
I think operating a motor vehicle should entail a certain degree of responsibility including environmental responsibility.
yup. and consequences for those who won't. world's literally cooking guys, every bit will help, and every vroom vroom revving their fucking engines is hurting. time to be adults and put the toxic toys away.
