Reduce emissions all you want, India, and China out pollute us. Ain’t gonna mean a damn thing when other countries pollute more than first world stopped.
You’re definitely wrong about India, and famously China Added More Solar Panels in 2023 Than US Did In Its Entire History, so I don’t see why can’t be trying to reduce emissions too.
Holy fuck, I knew China had ramped up but that’s crazy. Even with solar panels, where does that end?
It’s hard to say for sure, but China’s record carbon emissions expected to peak due to clean energy push, report says so I sincerely hope their yearly CO2 emissions start going down soon.
They still have less total emissions than the US and EU, but I doubt it’ll stay that way for long.
I am furious.
No. I’m angry at, I guess the Dems or Jews, for using their space lasers to create a hurricane to attack the poor, peaceful, MAGA people of Florida.
I know I am
I got my pitchfork ready
I play the “I told you so” card whenever I can, with a proactive and self-reliant spin.
We were hit with a climate intensified storm and lost our home, We moved and were hit again, but less severely, thanks to storm hardening our new home.
This summer, I put in a tornado/hurricane shelter on our small plot. When I showed the FEMA plans to the code enforcers, showing how I was hardening all of our home, garage, and shed, the entire department came to look at the plans. I’m enough of a nerd to appreciate the group of engineers is ooohing and ahhing a common sense solution.
I harden and storm proof, and have put in solar, and drive electric. It does not happen in a day, but step by step, can get better. I cannot change my state and their politics. (they are MAGA), but that does not mean that I have to roll over. I can lead by example, and I can make sure that my family can thrive after the storm
There is so much to be furious about, even as bad as climate issues are, it’s just one more goddamn thing to be pissed off about our politics.
I honestly don’t think anything else will matter as much a hundred years from now.
If I got furious every time the political class did something stupid I’d never stop being furious, and that’s no way to live.
“We need to dismantle the fossil fuel industry!!!”
They scream across the network built on plastics from their plastic phones while eating plastic foods and living in plastic houses.
You want to dismantle the industry? Stop using shit!
“But Awesomo, that’s too hard!!”
Yet you participate in society
Free coverage from Ryan Hall Y’all on youtube. He’s livestreaming for the foreseeable future with no ads.
Seconding.
Phenomenal coverage from this team. Literally streaming from the front during Helene. They set up instruments along the path to monitor its progress.
I really like his channel, and he’s pretty accurate.
I’m more angry at the low-information / single-issue voters who keep voting that political class in.
Example: When I was waiting in line during the primaries this year, I overheard some guy behind me saying that he didn’t care about any of the policies; he’s just voting for whoever’s against abortion. I heard a few “uh-huhs” of agreement and then I cranked up my headphones to keep my blood pressure under control.
As frustrating as propaganda victims are to deal with, they’re still victims, not perpetrators.
FUUCK that, they victimize other people on orders from their talking heads and Facebook rumors.
I dunno if I can be mad at a stupid person for being stupid. It is their nature. I just hope I can make the generation that supersedes them can be a little smarter.
But I can damn sure be mad at the person manipulating stupid people to enrich themselves at the expense of us all. They’re smart enough to know what they’re doing, and callous enough to not care.
For the last year we’ve been cleaning the same thing from low info single issue liberals. Overlook genocide so their team can win. Overlook the environmental impact of 2 huge wars funded by the US so their team doesn’t lose. Their single issue is ‘not Trump’ despite on paper they look exactly like Trump
The game theory here should be painfully obvious to you! But it’s not obvious to my candidate, it’s under their radar. /s
In my experience, groups of people will ignore inconvenient but correct answers until the problem explodes into their collective faces.
“The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.” – George Orwell

The political class…how incredibly short sighted. Yes of course you should be furious at the political class, but you should be more angry at the ruling class of capitalists that control the political class. Shell oil invented climate science, they predicted all of this back in the late 70s, and then they knowingly covered it up. They invented climate science and then they invented climate change denial.
The ruling capitalist class can’t change course, and they can’t run society any longer. The profit motive is no way to organize society, that should be abundantly clear to anyone with eyes. Yes the political class who covered for companies committing environmental destruction should pay, as well as the ineffectual political class who played nice and told you to vote all these years so they could fundraise off of these issues.
There needs to be a new political class composed of us, the working class, who can combat these careerists and grifters directly by seizing control of the factories and forging a new rational system that can meet peoples needs and launch human society into the future, not keep it mired in the old incentives and systems that destroy it.
We can’t vote our way out of this, by no possible metric is it possible. We need new forms of democracy and political engagement. For decades they told us if you recycled you could fix this. They were lying. Noone is coming to save us we have to save ourselves, but together as one. Please.
What Political Class? This was Caused by DEMOCRATS! That’s MUCH Easier to Believe then the past Half Century of Scientists Warning us this EXACT Thing would happen in our Lifetime if we didn’t make Changes and then we DIDNT make Changes!
Don’t you see. They were priming us while they built their space lasers. It was in the plan all along. Convince us all that our actions have consequences and what those consequences will be, then make them happen. To… Umm… To… Hail Satan or something. /s
I am writing this in a camper in an RV park as I monitor the cameras in my house and wonder if and when my shit will get wrecked. The truth is that WE did this through inaction. Yes the political class is to blame but so is most of the rest of the human race. We have destroyed our own home. We are a plague.
