There are a number of Democrats who have DEMANDED that Biden declare a Climate Emergency. I will support ANY of them

@MiriShuli @Niall @Ulzana @chu and how will they get that passed through Congress? How will they get states to comply?

@MeeMee @MiriShuli @Niall @chu

Is Biden making speeches every week about the dangers of Climate Change?

65 percent of the American People WANT the government to ACT NOW.

BUT IF THERE ARE NO PROPOSALS, I GUESS IT DOESN'T MATTER.

Great Leaders after all shouldn't risk Corporate Profits.

DSJezebell replied to David

@MiriShuli @chu @Ulzana @Niall did you miss the actual things that are being done that the other commenter posted or are you being willfully ignorant?

David Barkin replied to DSJezebell

@MeeMee @MiriShuli @chu @Niall

It seems to me that the only one who is being "willfully Ignorant' is you.

You seem to believe that Humanity can wait twenty five or thirty years before we worry about this Climate Hoax.

Sorry, I think the "handwriting is on the wall."

DSJezebell replied to David

@chu @MiriShuli @Niall @Ulzana you seem to think that small steps to address the issue are a waste of time and that, “let’s DEMAND” it now is some kind of solution. How does that work exactly? Still haven’t answered my question.

@MeeMee @chu @MiriShuli @Niall @Ulzana

Ah, I first remember hearing about small steps in the Nixon administration! And I've heard it every year since.

We needed to take small steps 50 years ago. Now we need to decarbonize by 90% in a decade to avoid catastrophe.

Small steps are worse than useless because they convince people that something is being done when it is not.

I think DSJezebell HATES Facts.

Have you no shame, using FACTS?

@TomSwirly @MeeMee @chu @MiriShuli @Niall @Ulzana

Yeah, this. Tom and I disagree over some things, but I wholeheartedly agree on this point.

If we want to make only small changes, we have to start in good time. We failed to do so in this case, because back when it wasn't too late, people thought there was no need to make changes at all.

As it stands, our options are drastic immediate changes or extinction. Saying "drastic changes but not yet" or "small changes only" is simply denial.

Tom Ritchford replied to DSJezebell

@MeeMee @MiriShuli @chu @Ulzana @Niall

None of these things is even 1% adequate to the massive, existential problem facing the world.

It is like using a teaspoon to put out a forest fire.

We need to decrease our carbon dioxide output by 90% over a decade. But the current plans will have us producing about 10% more CO2 in a decade.

This doesn't seem to disturb the members of the Biden Cult, BECAUSE good old Joe Makes a Lot of "Noise" about Climate change, while actually doing almost nothing

DSJezebell replied to David

@Ulzana @MiriShuli @Niall @TomSwirly @chu electing members of the GOP doesn’t seem to bother the “burn it all down” cultists. If you aren’t voting for Dems then you aren’t doing a damned thing to move us forward. Splitting the ticket for pie in the sky is just stupid. Ignoring that is self destructive. Small steps are all we can do. Again, if you have a better idea then state so.

DSJezebell replied to David

@MiriShuli @chu @Ulzana @Niall still haven’t answered my question. Speeches are great but how, specifically, will one of the democratic demands be met through legislation? What are THEIR plans to go about it?

Tom Ritchford replied to DSJezebell

@MeeMee @MiriShuli @chu @Ulzana @Niall Repeating the phrase "still haven't answered my question" over and over is both disrespectful, and and content-free.

Do better.

DSJezebell replied to Tom

@MiriShuli @chu @TomSwirly @Ulzana @Niall yet you have not put forth ANY real answer yet. You just keep repeating how bad it is. Do better.

+1 to that, as others may then follow the US, big hint to our oil loving PM in the UK there.

Congress, not the President, is the part of government that makes policy and laws. A president is not a king. Right now, the Republican chaos agents are running the House and They. Don't. Care.

@batyalee @chu @Ulzana @Niall @MiriShuli 🎯
That part. If we don’t elect Dems then nothing will happen. We need a Dem that will get the votes of a majority. Period. How is anyone not understanding this yet? Voting Green (sorry, but true, wish it wasn’t but it is) or 3rd party splits the dem vote and gets us exactly where we are now. Full stop! It’s all hands on deck and people are still wasting time with “what if?” 🤦🏽‍♀️

There are a lot of people who don't care because they think they will be okay, and that the people who die of cholera trying to farm their saltwater-flooded fields are just not their problem. Sucks to be them.

These rich guys figure that they will always be able to afford the best of everything, and if other people can't, well maybe they should have invested the money their Daddies left them more wisely.

You are right. They. Don't. Care
