Heh, I love the implied acknowledgement that Republicans are a separate and distinct group from adults.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

But what if we made the world less polluted for no reason?!
Oh no, we accidentally developed these cheaper non polluting energy sources. And then we accidentally helped people get appliances that use way less electricity and upgrade their homes to save them money on their bills. I guess it was all for nothing.
Oily billionaires would cry, and elected Republicans who depend on their money can't have that.
And yet, they'll still vote lockstep for climate deniers, so how worried can they really be?
Brandon has actually been a pretty good prez. It’s just a really fucked sociopolitical climate.
Indeed. Dark Brandon's making progress on green infrastructure, public transit, medication accessibility, student debt, inflation (technically the Fed, but still) etc. Sure, he hasn't made the US a utopia or anything, but considering how pissingly obstinate the opposition is, I had much lower expectations. I would have been happy just for him simply avoiding inciting an isurection.
Biden has been a good president. Remember the horrible criminal president we had last term?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A broad majority of US adults – 73% – say the federal government should develop its climate policies with the goal of cutting the country’s planet-warming pollution in half by the end of the decade.
The Biden administration is also crafting and implementing several federal regulations designed to cut pollution from the oil and gas industry, power plants, and gas-powered vehicles.
But few Americans, only 2%, see climate change as the most important issue facing the country, giving higher priority to the economy and cost of living.
Most US adults say humanity bears a great deal of responsibility to try to reduce climate change but believe the US and Chinese governments and the energy industry are all doing too little to fix the problem.
As past polls have found, there is a profound partisan divide over how Americans feel about climate change, and what to do about it, that outweighs other factors such as age and gender.
The poll finds that more than 4 in 10 Americans say they’ve experienced extreme weather over the past year, with most in that group calling climate change a contributing factor.
The original article contains 834 words, the summary contains 187 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Yet, the extreme rightwing nutbags get all the attention. Screw those loons.
