Nobody will change. I appreciate the spirit of these protesters, but people have been warning about this stuff since the 80s. Humans have the built in ability to think they will survive and prosper, while everyone else falls away. We saw this on full display when wearing a mask to protect, even superficial or not, your fellow human being became a contentious issue.
It’s just all so disheartening. I could just doom dump a bunch right now.
We’ve been getting change; when the Democrats had a razor-thin majority in both houses of congress last session, we got meaningful climate legislation
A bunch of regulation has been layered on top of it to try and get additional emissions cuts.
It’s not enough yet, but the operative word is yet. Put a bunch more Democrats into positions of power, and the US may actually do its part.
Great, so the US is going to marginally cut their greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, this is a global problem, and globally, we achieved record emissions this year.
The US isn’t the only country to cut emissions during that time; the EU has done something similar, putting itself on a path towards zero emissions.
China is also on the cusp of a switch from rising emissions to falling ones.
Get those big three economies on the right path, and the easy default choice for the rest of the world will be decarbonization too.
The US is one of the largest emitters though as third highest population globally, one of the most heavily developed, and one of the most dépendant on wasteful technologies like automobiles.
Marginal cuts to their emissions is worth more than a small nation going completely green. Both should happen mind you, but take wins wherever you can
Nooo but this time the capitalists liberals will save us! Just vote for them and watch!
Seriously how can people be so naive lmao
Liberals were in power between 2009 and 2017. The fact that the line didn’t budge is the proof that you guys really don’t give a shit outside of election time.
I wish we could ban political astroturfing ugh
EDIT: this is a serious problem, seriously. Anybody knows an instance that is not infected by american libs?
No, the Republicans controlled Congress for most of that time, or it was divided:

Ah yes, every of your shortcomings are the fault of the other right-wingers. Classic liberal.
You do know how the American government works, right?
That instance you’re looking for is called Twitter — you’d probably fit right in.

Since a few decades before that actually.
I don’t get why so many comments online go “why does nobody protest?” then every time we see one all I see is “well that was pointless.” What are any of us doing? What “effective” protest has anyone in this thread done lately?
At least we’re talking about it here, so they did something clearly. Throwing that powder is more than anyone here can claim to be doing.
