What's your take on approaches that are less regulatory but promote the research, development, and adoption of green technologies (like with the recen...
More popular with his base, that's for sure. It's less certain when it comes to the rest of the country. I like to think they won't elect an imprisone...
Guess Elon is doing a great job taking care of the bot situation. Gotta wonder how his whole "pander to the right to sell more Teslas to them" plan is...
Given the amount of attention your posts have received and the number of substantive responses pointing out the errors in your arguments, I think peop...
It's been around for decades and as far as I can tell most physicists still don't believe in time travel. A quick google search and look at the Wiki p...
Alot of climate denialism often boils down to dumb politics. Oh, and rich oil lobbyists who profit off nothing being done (for very obvious reasons) w...
Sadly things being worse than expected is becoming an incresingly common phrase among alot of climate headlines today so I've learned to factor that i...
I can't think of anyone who thought that getting temperatures below 1.5 C would be achieved, given how sluggish progress has been. Sad but not surpris...
The opposite could also happen too. People have learned to appreciate handcrafted products in the wake of the industrial revolution and mass manufactu...
Doesn't really tell me what doctrine is being referred to here. If it simply means acknowledging the existence of different races then that's not what...
He mentioned moving to a neighborhood with mostly white people and how it's much better citing Don Lemon: That's the part I think is more damning. Thi...
Have to define what "racism" means here. I usually understand it as the belief that one race is superior or inferior to another. Obviously the Nazis w...
If that black person also brags about moving to a non-white neighborhood, implying some link between race and societal problems then... well personall...
With how the youth vote turned out to overwhelmingly vote for the Democrats, I hope that this will cause the Republicans to reevaluate their stances o...
I don't disagree with that, but when it comes to figures like Trump, I think he came into power more because he was a populist (or at least pretended ...
Pretty much. Voting is mostly just a way for people to vent their current frustration at the status quo and they're dissatisfied with that the majorit...
Do you think that there was anything that could've been done diplomatically during the immediate moments leading up to the war to prevent it or do you...
The GOP are gonna do it anyways the next time they get power and it may likely be the only thing they do like during the Trump years. It's sort of the...
They'll try again the next time they get the chance. The only reason why they couldn't this time was because of that meddling UK economy. Before then ...
According to Manchin, reducing the deficit is the "best way" to fight inflation. Why else do you think the bill has $300 billion in net deficit reduct...
No they don't. They've gotten away with it for decades by making people focus on the culture war. Just call abortions "woke" and the self described li...
I kind of knew that already going in since Manchin was calling for it for months. Progressives have largely accepted the poison pill in favor of the l...
No it was way more complicated than that. Manchin killed the last bill because he had concerns about the fact that it didn't tax the rich enough and t...
Given how polarized US politics was becoming at the time, I'm starting to wonder if Gore being the face of climate change activism in the country made...
Technically they weren't even talking about BBB. He killed that bill because he had problems with it's temporary programs (which were there because he...
They're also not gonna furiously defend coal either like your last post implied. Like you said, they care about employment, and they're perfectly fine...
Not so sure about that. At the very least with regards to the legislation Manchin just killed, it seemed like union workers were pretty excited about ...
I mean good luck with that, but there are a lot of people out there who are dead set on making sure that we don't do anything at all. At first the lin...
While I don't necessarily think science will solve everything, it's a better option than expecting everyone to suddenly come to a realization that the...
Indeed, the oligarchs know that when the people unite against them they can't win, which is why they try to break people apart whenever they can by so...
Sure you can say we're not the primary cause of alot of our problems, but we aren't entirely blameless. Alot of the corrupt politicians are there beca...
Oh I have no doubt that humans will survive this in some form. They will start taking climate change seriously when it becomes an immediate concern (o...
Wow, I was just about to make a joke about how the right was gonna blame wind energy again for failing in the heat instead of the cold. Now I just fee...
Well Russia isn't exactly keen on stopping climate change (in large part due to it's reliance on it's gas), Brazil is currently run by a man who seems...
The US just overwhelmingly endorsed $40 billion in spending for Ukraine (I suppose inflation didn't matter there) and the budget for that war in the e...
It sucks but it really wasn't that much money last I checked. $300 billion over 10 years is like 15% the cost of Afghanistan. The US spends twice that...
Sure but there is only so much that can be done the local level. In spite of being the world's biggest emitter the Chinese have invested more in renew...
And China along with Europe will most definitely overtake the US in the green tech revolution since the US is incapable of getting it's act together o...
https://twitter.com/JStein_WaPo/status/1547750372806037505 Just another reason why the US shouldn't be the leader of the free world. And hopefully the...
