It's not "ignore it", it's actively make it worse. Look at all of his coal bullshit. There's no economic reason to continue supporting coal
Came here to say this. He actively sold off public lands that were held in reserve for the future - it was OURS, now it just managed to line HIS pockets. Remind me again btw why I am supposed to be afraid of "socialism", but capitalism = perfection? :-(
I have no patience with people who “just cant find it in their heart to support Biden again”. There is too fucking much at stake to hold Biden to these impossible standards.
Exactly. They don’t seem to understand that the willful act of cutting of their own noses- spites every face in America.
But it’s never their fault.
especially when biden is one of the most progressive presidents in modern history
Tell this to the “gEnOciDe jOe” bros. I’ll bet they still won’t lift a finger come November.
But remember, it won’t be their fault.
knowing how much steve bannon made has way up in wow chat, the likelihood that all those "leftists" screaming that are actually 45 year old white male conservatives.
I wouldn’t doubt it for a second. And in the event they’re not- then they’re mindless drones doing the work of 45 year old white male conservatives.
You know Joe pumped more oil and signed more land off for drilling than trump did, right? The climate cannot survive another term of America.
Lol
Yeah that's usually the response I get from angy Americans when they realize no matter who they elect, next year there will be record oil production.
If only worthlessly whining about it online to a bunch of strangers would fix the world’s problems, people like you would lock up that Nobel Prize indefinitely.
Oh well, I guess the rest of us will have to keep doing the shit you don’t like until the day comes where everything is perfect- so that you can take credit for all the hard work.
I'm sorry that you're angry that I said factual statements about the administration. You're right, everyone shut up about the genocide and climate apocalypse!
Who’s angry? And what something factual you said? I must have missed that part.
You seem angry. If you're not then you're just a miserable person to communicate with.
This is obviously what I'm referring to.
You're angry at the wrong people. If you're not angry about this, then you should be.
No, I’m not angry about that. What I’m angry about is people like you willing to let Trump destroy America because of your stubbornness.
So you're okay with Biden destroying the planet, but get angry at the thought of trump destroying your country? Talk about American exceptionalism 🤮.
I generally don’t subscribe to sensationalism. Your droning on about your one little issue isn’t enough to move the needle when doing so sacrificing Ed the democracy of the country I live in and that contains all of my loved ones.
So yeah. I’m okay with it. Entirely okay with it. Because its Also mostly bullshit.
Hahahaha, good luck with that.
Appreciate that. Good luck to you on finishing grade school.
This dude, in the same breath as claiming to be a dictator "on day one", said his main priority is to drill, baby, drill. He, along with all of his voters, have openly opted to make the climate crisis worse. Simply put, republicans are Eco-terrorists. The world, not just the US, cannot afford to have Republicans in charge anymore.
Trump's approach is to pour gasoline into the dumpster fire. Ignoring it is almost everyone else's approach.
Yeah, the climate can’t afford another full 365 days of our current carbon output. Like, in reality, it can’t do one more day. It couldn’t have done about the last five decades. But it’s doing it because we won’t stop. It’s likely already too late. But the world does have insane healing properties. Maybe if we stopped, it could heal itself.
But this “slow down a little by 2050” bullshit is just poppycock.

The presidency can't afford another Trump presidency.
It couldnt afford the first one
Too bad do many American voters also ignore it.
*most
his approach isn't to ignore it; it's to actively make it worse
Because roughly 60% of likely voters think climate change is a "false religion" that has nothing to do with the climate.
Think about that. Why would a republican candidate that is only about themselves ever do anything about climate change? They poll better when they do the opposite.
We have to be careful here, because we're getting dangerously close to denial about the popularity of climate change denial. We're not winning, and even though it's an existential crisis, "Well you'll see I'm right when the world is on fire" actually makes people LESS likely to support efforts to fight climate change. Think about that too.
