    It’s likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents–and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.

      The sick thing is most donors have so much hoarded wealth their entire lineage will never spend it l… But it’s worth letting the earth burn to accumulate more.

      Never forget that a moron Republican senator brought a handful of snow onto the Congress floor to prove climate change was a hoax!

      If the GOP senators are this moronic… Just imagine the idiots voting for them… shudder

      remember: climate change ain’t just not fake, it also makes summers fucking unbearable and average winters a likely cause of frostbite! hooray!

      we’re all gonna die of our own stupidity in the next couple centuries… lest we do anything about it

    I mean, at one level it’s more logically valid to say we shouldn’t bother doing anything to compare combat climate change than saying climate change doesn’t exist.

    It’s a weird level though.

      To be fair, they never said that. Saying that efforts right now are awfully misguided and completely incompetent efforts to sell even more product, and increase consuption EVEN more, such as EV-s and so on, is not climate change denial…

    Stage 2 of the four stage strategy.

    Or perhaps even stage 3 but somehow even more detached.

    Same as when you have a cavity but you don’t go to the dentist because you don’t have health insurance and it costs too much and it doesn’t hurt that much right now.

    Let’s put it this way, where I live we separate our rubbish between general, recyclable and glass but our council only recycles the glass and dumps the rest in the landfill with the general rubbish…

    We see a lot of “do-gooders” out there pretending to do something while achieving the exact opposite. An example: most flagship smartphones now come without a charger but if you want the latest wireless charging tech they’re pushing or even the latest fast charging, you’re surely going to buy that extra on the same purchase. Now you have two separate devices that used to share the same package now generating twice the amount of rubbish. It makes no sense. These same smartphones now have glued on batteries that can’t easily be removed, so both phones and batteries end up in the same bin, where the phones themselves should be going to a separate facility to extract the rate matels it has.

    We the simpletons think that the little we do helps but reality is very different…

    This is easily understandable even without cynicism

    If one acknowledge a problem and feel 6 of 10 proposed solutions aren’t worth the cost, they’ve opposed a majority of solutions
