Environmental activists urge Kamala Harris to go big on climate: ‘She’s got to seize the moment’
(www.theguardian.com)
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
It’s your truth perhaps but a policy that has more than 3/4 of the support of the Dem voting populace should be adopted and advertised loudly lest she actually LOSE this election. Hillary and many before her showed us that people don’t show up to vote for someone who promises “more of the same”. Much like old school republicans and their tough on crime ethos, you don’t inspire people with fear unless you intentionally refuse to offer them anything other than fascism.
The truth is, she doesn’t WANT to say anything about the environment or true Single Payer Medicare for All because she simply doesn’t support it (and the power brokers behind the DNC won’t allow it) and anti-democratically chose her specifically because of her ability to do whatever her donors say behind closed doors.
They are literally standing in the way of what people want. They’ve been doing it since Joe Lieberman castrated Single Payer and you dumbass Dems just keep nodding your heads in agreement.
We need to get the guillotines out and you’re sitting here feigning that things cannot change for the better.
My truth is that most Americans are neither Democrats nor Republicans, but Independents. Both Democrats and Republicans mostly vote for the respective party anyway, so the Independent group is the main target.
If you want to see what happens, when you run a full on populist left platform, look at the UK with Corbin vs Johnson. The media runs a massive shit storm against Corbin and Labour lost in a landslide, besides having some really good points. Core Labour voters, especially the left wing loved Corbin though.
