> All the politicians say that it'll get fixed at some point in the future
To be perfectly clear, there is exactly one political party in the United States who still doesn't even acknowledge anthropogenic climate change, never mind taking any steps to change things. It's incredibly frustrating that this too gets framed as a "both sides" issue despite all evidence indicating it's a one sided issue.
- creamytaco 5y agoThis is short sighted since political parties are both playing for the same team: they are owned by finance and corporations. These are entities that are absolutely not going to allow the radical changes needed to stay within 2c temperature gain (which is still bad, millions will die, but maybe not catastrophic for the species as a whole). Alas, 2c is already priced in given current policies, we will be lucky to stay below 3c. The societal changes from that alone will be devastating.
