https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/12/06/biden-is-approving-more-oil-gas-drilling-permits-public-lands-than-trump-analysis-finds/

can it survive another bullshit neolib puppet? we need progressives, not corporate lib shills.

DISCLAIMER FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DON’T UNDERSTAND YOU CAN AND SHOULD CRITICIZE YOUR OWN PARTY WITHOUT SUPPORTING THE OTHER: I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN.

Your name and comment are deeply ironic, given the Stalin purges

Can’t survive another Biden term either. It’s the planet or capitalism and the people in charge would rather kill us all than end capitalism.

What he’s been able to do has been limited by the most conservative Democrat whose vote was needed to pass legislation.

Get a better congress along with a Biden reelection, and it puts us into the we-stand-a-chance range

Correct me if I’m wrong but their military is a huge polluter, and I don’t see that as being something either side would change due to the politics around fucking with the military, so it’s even more of a problem on top of the already massive problem that is capitalism

Biden has started going down the road of electricifying the military. But of course, slimming down the military is the kind of holy cow neither mainstream party would touch. We are seeing a quasi-worldwide military push anyway, which is unsurprising in the wider context of missing global climate action.

I was referring to burn pits that I’ve vaguely heard of, feel like they’d still be a pretty large problem

As someone who isn’t from that country, the climate can’t survive more USA, who’s running it doesn’t seem to make much difference.

(Not that they’re the only country causing this global disaster of course, just the one highlighted in this post)

From another outsiders perspective the difference seems to be that the Democrats invest in green technologies, whereas the Republicans do not. Both support fossil fuels thou.

The climate is just not going to survive period. Democrats also don’t have the will to do anything on this topic.

Humans survive better than most animals. What do you think the world will look like if not even the apex species will survive?

I don’t think anyone questions that humans will survive. It’s just unlikely that the complex global supply chain that gives us complex tools like microchips etc will survive. And may be massive famine etc after just a few harvest failure, or after the grain can’t go down the rivers to the sea any more. Naturally not for the very rich, you can probably buy a bag of rice at a price. It’s not survival that’s at stake, its civilization and all that.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
