Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.

    I mean what the fuck, the world literally just had the hottest month in 120k years. Half the world’s on fire, the other half is in a drought. When does the bullshit end around Climate Change??

      In the United States after the boomers die off we will no longer have that barrier to making climate change a major part of our future. Gen X, Millenials, and Zoomers are all on board for that.

        It’s unfortunate they won’t die off sooner so we can actively get to work on fixing their mess. We don’t have the time though

        For the good of literally everything, they need to die way, way faster / sooner.

        Yes, this includes people I know. Yeah, it’d be (kinda) sad. But it’d be better for all.

          I knew a Trumper that died of covid. He was a fat angry fuck. Never went to college. Barely finished highschool. Worked around caustic chemicals his entire life. Smoke since he was young.

          Denied COVID, not vaccinated, hated Fauci.

          Now dead as fuck.

          Sucks to see his family suffer his loss, but we lost him years ago. He was no longer the person I once knew.

            Well,it looks like the older ones are starting to drop, or at least freeze up and reboot in public. The assholes in congress who are taking the dark money to push this agenda, like McConnell, are getting old and struggling to even show up in any functional capacity. Half of them are just sock puppets for the congressional aids and handlers to do with as they please.

      The people putting forth these suggestions never really leave their airconditioned place of work, cars, homes, and rarely hotels or vacation homes. They are usually unaffected by floods, tornadoes, storms, fires, etc.

      And republicans live by the creed that if it’s not directly impacting themselves it is either not real, or if it is, it’s not that serious.
