We can’t afford to wait four more years and hope we have a pro environment candidate. At this rate it’ll take decades to correct another four years of stalling.
A pro-environment candidate wouldn’t be able to fix this anyway. 2/3 of the world live in rapidly developing countries and without their cooperation, nothing the US does will matter.
All gas, no brakes…
We just broke the record for fossil fuel production back in October, and we’ve doubled production since 2012

It’s too late. There is no correcting this. People really need to wake up and prepare for the worst.
FYI, this is the new argument of the conservatives hellbent on stopping normal people from addressing climate change.
Not addressing climate change has a worse outcome than addressing it.
It’s not just ‘conservatives’ making this argument.
Anyone with a brain can recognize how we won’t stop burning fossil fuels until it’s no longer economical.
This is the result of greed, plain and simple. There is no solving it because we don’t want to solve it.
I mean, historically, we correct anti-social behavior using violence.
How are you going to beat the vast majority of people into submission?
This isn’t a “ruling class” issue. It’s an “everyone” issue because we’re all in on it.
If you didn’t forego directly using fossil fuels, you’re part of the problem.
If you don’t want to acknowledge you’re part of the problem, you’re part of the problem.
I am probably part of the issue, even though I never drove and I stopped taking planes.
Not with wishful thinking and techno-optimism, that’s for sure.
Is it? Can you quote one? Link? I’d love to see one admit it’s real.
You can’t prevent it. This is the new normal, now let’s support our workers and support fossil fuels
oh fuck right off, doubling down supporting fossil fuels is not pro-worker

Someone has to lead the way, why not the countries that got us into this pickle?
Gotta start somewhere.
The average westerner have order of magnitude more of a footprint than the average indian. Not to mention importations.
But I agree, a truely pro-environment candidate would probably get assasinated. Energy quotas aren’t that popular.
