    Some people just can’t focus on two things, even if you can.

    Like, people keep pretending Biden is some climate activist…

    He blew straight past Trump’s record fossil fuels production records and set his own.

    And sure, less domestic use sounds good, but it would actually be better than shipping coal across the globe using fossil fuels before burning the coal.

    I don’t know if it’s long term effects of COVID or what, but these last few years I’m constantly overestimating people.

      This is incredibly patronizing of you. You’re one step away from calling everyone else “sheeple“ while holding yourself up as the exception.

      I am not going to tell LGBT people they are distracted by Trump and the GOP’s regressive policies towards them because they aren’t giving enough attention to climate issues. I’m not going to tell women they are distracted by Roe’s repeal and the subsequent fallout. I am not going to apologize for caring about project 2025 and the planned dismantling of our entire system in service of a petty manchild. I also care about climate issues, as do many people who care about the issues I listed.

      The only critique, as I said earlier, is that outlets have not reported on this enough. But they can report on multiple things. Lack of coverage does not mean we are all distracted by other coverage except for you and WAPO.

        It’s not his fault that there is a significant portion of the planet that is, in fact, quite dumb. It doesn’t make them worth less as humans, but it is something that needs to be considered.

          Reducing everybody who doesn’t prioritize the same things as you to such lengths is ridiculous. I don’t care what your perception is of “the average person.“ That’s egotistical teenager logic.

          Once again, we can call out media outlets for not properly prioritizing this. But to shutdown other people’s priorities and blame them for the lack of coverage in order to elevate it is intellectually dishonest and counterproductive finger pointing.

          What politics am I defending? I agree the coverage by media outlets has been terrible. This is a serious threat to our climate.

          You also don’t know the first thing about me. I am not using anyone as a shield. Get fucked. Blocking and moving on I don’t need your brand of disingenuous shit.
