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.
especially when biden is one of the most progressive presidents in modern history
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.

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.
