Japan does protests amazingly
When there is a transport strike, they let everyone go on for free
It benifits the normal people and still screws over the people the strike is targeted against
But these protests screw normal people over
There's a video of one guy shouting at the protesters because he has to get to work
He works in a clean power company
If you want people to back you up, don't make them late for work
Oh please
The Paris Agreement does nothing for climate change
China said that it might stop in 10 years time
And India said it might stop in 20 years time
wait
how would it block
okay so it's a paris agreement
agreement so anyone can quit or join anytime
ohh they want to make it into a bill
wont pass in the senate
Paris climate agreement does nothing.
Yeah
and progress with it
not regress
If there's too much CO2, then we will engineer a way to fix the excess CO2
Instead of trying to "reduce it by nature"
Power is the ability to impose your will upon nature.
Not have nature impose her will over you
Adaption
I think itβs been adequately demonstrated that people with the power to effect policy care more about their personal interests than anything else. The only options are to make them care about the environment - which is not within our power - or deprive them the ability to dictate policy.
duh
that's obvious
Since they are easily able to hide their motives (and even their actions) by outright secrecy or by framing their actions in a misleading way, there is no way to assure that the wrong people do not gain the ability to dictate policy, leaving us with only one viable option - have *no one* dictating policy in the broad scope. Then individual groups may seek out environmental misdeeds, prove them, and act by boycott or direct action to stop them without being roadblocked by enforcement of policies that favor the transgressor.
If you follow the money behind Democrat Politicians, the solar company and wind pay very well with their pockets
cant blame republicans if they want to go solar and wind if the companies are pocketing them as well
I donβt understand the last statement.
Republicans will support solar and wind power
if companies will pay them
but they dont
because it's more expensive to pay a republican on something against their constituent's beliefs than a democrat
unless you ever have a republican incumbent politician in a democrat state
then you might see that republican being a little more democrat
