Who are these candidates with a “bold climate agenda”? I don’t know any political party in any country, where I’d say ‘they’ve got a bold climate agenda’.

Fuck cars. Support public transport.

Fuck private planes.

Stop meat and milk subsidies, add extra taxes instead.

No more fossil energy anywhere.

Even that little is bold.

That is pretty much the agenda of every Green party anywhere. With the last point usually taking a decade or so, but still.

73% of Young US Voters should open their eyes and realise that the entire state mechanism is owned by capitalists, and that they would never let anyone who threatens their profits get in to power.

Then they should start reading up on anarchism, and start getting serious about enacting change instead of continuing to play along by the rules the capitalist state has set out for them and expecting said change to somehow materialise out of a system that has, and will continue to, put all of its might in to preventing it.

How many of them support severely restricting their lifestyle to meet those climate goals?

Everyone supports climate action until they find out it means no A/C, riding the city bus, and not having 2.5 kids in a suburban McMansion

Most of the young adults in America currently can’t afford kids, housing, or cars.

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.
