Really? Because I would say the unifying theme was fascism and this was just a bonus for them.

We are now up to 3.1 C of warming by the end of the century.
If we actually all followed the Paris Accords, starting now, we'd still be looking at 2.6 to 2.8 C by end of century.
We basically blew through 1.5 C this year.
(Notice how mainstream news in the US basically just stopped emphatically reporting on this?)
So, basically, we will likely continue to do far, far less than the mitigation required to even stabilize the warming... until modern global capitalism first stalls, then collapses under the weight of its own externalities.
... At which point billions will die over about a decade from starvation/climate disasters.
And that's just humans.
"But Biden didn't redo the entire electrical grid, the entire energy system, and the entire vehicle fleet in one fell swoop! Both sides same!"
They all know the reality.
They just also know it's the poories problem in their lifetime, not theirs.
This isn't a society, it's a death cult of greed.
Accelerationist fascist fucks.
If you ignore it long enough, it will go away. My cat uses the same tactic.
trump broke domestic fossil fuel production records his first term...
And then Biden broke those
Neither party will take climate change seriously, because the fossil fuel industry pays them too much for either of them to acknowledge reality.
At least when it's trump doing it, there's a large public outcry from the left that we need to do better.
When Biden was doing it, I just got called a Russian for pointing out shipping coal to China with fossil fuel powered ships so it can be burnt with less regulations wasn't a good thing.
Still don't get that to be honest.
As much as you may want it, you can't change everything, everywhere, all at once. The energy system is vast beyond comprehension and it takes a ton of time and effort. You can't snap your fingers and change everything.
Still don't get that to be honest.
This is the danger of you blocking everyone, your thoughts remain unchallenged.
The problem is is its time we don't have, the original 1.5 goalpost has been moved multiple times beyond what many scientists see as reasonable. In reality pandemic style measures should have been installed globally or bring the oil company's in to answer for their immense damage like the 1986 Shell document that leaked should have been used as leverage.
Instead we've sat on our fucking hands watching the sky collapse on our own heads while saying "it takes time," "we need oil to switch the lights on," these excuses won't age well when we see the needle tipping with no chance to go back.
I don't want things to take time, but I know that things take time. I seriously wonder what work y'all do that you think the world can be overturned on a dime. I work on nothing projects in the grand scheme of thing, and they take fucking years. Even small projects we timeline them out and it's a year for tiny things.
What really doesn't help is that we have to start from scratch after every republican president. Or republican congress.
Phrases "like hit the iron while the irons hot" "hit the ground running" and "nip it in the bud" are all great expressions. Instead we allowed ourselves to be manipulated by corporate giants. We don't have time. This isn't a corporate project this is life and death.
Drastic action should have been taken.
Holy strawman, I did not say those phrases or anything like them. And what part of "I don't want things to take time" do you not understand? No productive conversation can be had like this, I'm out.
No these are phrases I am saying.
