seems like we only have ~10 years to deal with climate change. also seems like joe biden is gonna get the nom. What the fuck do we do in these next few years given that the dems are not remotely interested in dealing with climate change in any real way?

    On a per capita basis sure, overall I think the US contributes the second largest amount of emissions at about 10 percent.

    While the US is a lost cause, Chinese dominance in renewables will bring costs down and result in American capitalists pursuing that instead.

        The free market solution to fighting climate change is direct action involving the mass destruction of oil and gas pipelines and their accompanied fracking rigs.

        Yes I agree that envirocapitalism narrative is absolutely shit and inappropriate - I'm a bit of a climate sooner with respect to Western developed countries doing anything particularly useful of their own accord

        because I feel like Americans and US industry would dig their heels in and double down on coal, natural gas, and petroleum.

        Coal is dying anyways, no one wants to invest in it
