For starters not voting for anyone denying anthropogenic climate change and giving donations to candidates that do acknowledge the settled science.

But when corporations try to defend themselves by participating in the political process, lobbying, giving money to candidates, they are evil, right? Or just the big name energy companies you vilify?

That is just feel good bs. What specifically are you doing to reduce your emission footprint? Selling your car? Putting up solar panels? Giving up air conditioning? What electronic devices are you giving up?

Curious, what were they honking from? On bikes or from their cars?

Lefties favor automobiles that draw power from the power grid, which creates more pollution on average than the internal combustion engine most ordinary people rely on. The batteries they use in these fake green autos will be detrimental to the environment when they are carelessly thrown away in the future.

Lefties also whine about pollution, yet most of that pollution is produced in third world countries, and heavily industrialized nations like China. As other countries begin to industrialize, the pollution problem will only get worse, but there is nothing we can do to stop them. We cannot encroach upon the freedom of others around the world because we think we know what's best, how people should live, etc.

Lefties are just delusional and dangerous. They want to tax the snot out of Americans because 3rd worlders are beginning the process of industrialization and building more advanced societies for themselves. So lefties solution is to hold America back, while the rest of the would progresses.

Well going after the big fish is actually a good start.

You cant fault anyone for driving if their livelihood requires it.

Just as long as they’re not driving for unnecessary reasons etc.

Thats the realistic way. No way anyone can change overnight.

Reasonable people can agree on this. Frothy mouthed extremists tend to be so full of hyperbole and hypocrisy so I was curious as to what personal changes were made by the poster.
