looks like i picked the wrong year to quit sniffing glue
I'm not a prepper but maybe I should be. After covid, I have no confidence that the US can respond to climate change.
I think leftists have the unique skill of organizing their community during times of oppression. Maybe leftists will be the social support during climate change too. Anyone know of any good resources?
Beau of the fifth column has some good videos and very responsive on twitter and emails
be a bit silly to respond to the thing you're entusiastically causing wouldnt it
I'm enthusiastically causing it? My rental unit had no insulation and I'd be in real trouble if we had a long power outage in a winter surge.
There are two forms of climate science denial. The hard version is direct and in your face, like Donald Trump claiming climate change is a Chinese lie to prevent America from becoming great again. It is easy to spot and as subtle as a crowbar to the face.
The soft version is when liberals like Biden and basically every other western leader talks the people and themselves into believing climate change is a manageable problem that can be fixed with small technocratic measures. They're promising us that the consumerist binge of the middle class can go on indefinitely if we just give tax credits to electric cars and solar panels and makes a YouTube video telling people to put a little carrot in their meatballs.
This soft denial is much more dangerous than the hard version. Biden "believes the science" which makes him sound like he's on the sensible side of the argument, compared to the hard denialists. And in contrast to Trump who made a point of doing nothing he does something which we're told is sufficient. The media has cast climate change as a standard political disagreement with two sides. The hard denialists are portrayed as one side in the conflict while the soft denialists are portrayed as the other. And while the denialists sucks up all the attention, the real climate movement is left out of the argument and treated like unreasonable extremists.
Right. The forum is media hosted, and the viewpoints are only the two espoused by the major political parties; anything else is branded as 'eco terrorism', or 'economically infeasible'.
Heaven help if you think we maybe should take more drastic action on a looming crises than just implementing global cap and trades and setting deadlines that are 20 years off.
God I wish I still talked to a liberal family Member who was trump crazy while he was in office to prove that Biden is literally just the same as him. He was always touting himself as the “smart one” for thinking trump bad
Like most live they channeled everything that is wrong with our politics into him as one guy, and not it being just how the system overall works. Trump is fine for now and Biden is doing the same shit or worse but they don’t speak up because he’s their guy.
i dont drink but man the last two years have made me consider
like alchoholism runs in my family but I don't want to be like 40 living out the first chapter of Ministry For The Future melting to death and thinking "damn dude I never got lit"
We're gonna listen to the scientists!

That was a nice talk, Jack. And we'll do something about the, the, you know the thing! Listen here you dog-faced pony soldier, I'm gonna keep on drilling. Maybe we could get back to this climate change thing in about 10- 20 years:biden-troll:
