As an American, all I can do is hope my peers finally pull their heads out of their collective asses and fucking do something.
Looking around, I sadly do not expect it to happen. People are still saying global warming is a "woke" conspiracy of lies.
Part of our own government is actively trying to destroy the efforts of the Biden administration to get us off fossil fuels, or regulate anything.
Sadly, I think it is too late for us. Gods help us.
Agreed. We might salvage something from the mess, but I think we’re past the point of no return.
You'd think the hottest day record being broken daily for what, a week back to back, would kick our asses into gear. Instead most people barely acknowledged it.
Most news outlets are too busy blasting the modern day equivalent of yellow journalism to give a shit.
In the words of am ex coworker, "I just Believe some years after hour than others,". The problem is that instead of using logic they go with feelings until it's convenient for them.
Problem is, even if the U$ gets our shit together (which would be great), we're still fucked because of China, India, Russia etc.
Apathy doesn't work. Something is always better than nothing. Show an effort, develop green tech and then collaborate with other countries.
Sorry, Republicans control the House. Maybe next year. 🤷
Not with the way the srate Republicans changed their voting laws and districts. It is going to be depressing
My favorite part about all of this record breaking weather is that the old record is almost always within the last 5 years, and the last 4 or 5 records are always in my lifetime. It's almost like everything climate scientists predicted publicly and fossil fuel execs talked about privately for the last 50 years or so is coming true exactly as predicted.
No no that's not the case at all this is just alarmism. In actuality it's all coming true much faster than they predicted.
alarmism
I love when they say that. Sometimes the reason the smoke alarm is going off is that the house is on fire.
No surprise 2020 was the previous record with how active that Atlantic tropical storm season was. Guessing 2005 is up there on the list too.
… so far
good, we wont change our ways until we suffer tremendously
Not surprising since the July that happened.
But wait, there's more!
