What is the point of "saving the Earth" if everyone has starved to death because they cannot afford food, due to inflation, caused by spending billions and trillions that we do not have?
A very profound statement!
This exactly! What is the point of accelerating the destruction of the planet to save the planet? Did I mention 'accelerating the destruction .... '
Progressives cannot claim they are "wanting to give the next generation a chance" when they support the murder of the next generation while in the womb...

Hyperbole much?
Republicans may believe that they are saving the lives of 8 or 10 week embryos, but their complete unwillingness to do even the smallest thing about climate change is going to spell death for millions of humans - many of them children. Republicans over the age of 50 or so may be able to get away with their current attitude of cavalier indifference, but younger Republicans better start spending more time on the self sufficiency and survival forum since the S is already beginning to H the F. Republicans are just too busy reading the porn on Hunter Biden's ever expanding laptop. to notice what's actually going on around them.
In a way, the Republicans have already won the battle that no one should want to win. Your obsequence to the Koch brothers and Exxon Mobile means that we have lost 30 years when we could have been implementing the policies that by now could have well stopped climate change in its tracks.
Thirty years ago this June, the well respected NASA scientist James Hansen testified to Congress that the age of climate change had arrived. As is typical of Congress, everyone got excited for a few months but then went back to business as usual.
Since 1988, global carbon dioxide emissions have risen 68 percent. At the time of Hansen’s speech, fossil fuels provided about 79 percent of the world’s energy needs. Now, despite every wind turbine and solar panel that’s been installed since, it’s actually worse — 81 percent.
Hansen’s warning was prescient and his predictions were scarily accurate. Every county in every U.S. state has warmed significantly since then. Sea-level rise is accelerating, heavier rains are falling, countless species of plants and animals are struggling to adapt. [And sadly, most are failing I must add].
Thirty years after Hansen testified, the world still isn’t even close to solving the problem. In fact, for every year we wait, we are making the problem much, much harder.
On our current path, emissions will still be rising 30 years from now, and the world will have long ago left behind all reasonable chances of preventing the irreversible tipping points in the climate system that Hansen predicted.
If climate change was an urgent problem in 1988, it’s now an emergency.
Enough tipping points have now been passed that the planet will experience some of the worst possible outcomes from an inexorably warming climate. It is now far too late to undo the damage we have done. And it couldn't have happened without the Republican party aka the REAL killers of innocent children yet to be born.
This is why Biden -- and anyone else that supports any of this climate change nonsense -- looks so stupid. China and India, who combined total nearly 3 BILLION people, have no "green deal" plans. They don't care about polluting, coal, etc.
So those two polluters are spending nothing, while the United States is going to solve the whole climate change con job on its own?
No, but we have a $300,000,000,000 Democrat slush fund, so there's that!
Remember, never let a good crisis go to waste, even if it's an imaginary one.
Biden pledges executive action after Joe Manchin scuppers climate agenda
Joe Biden has promised executive action on climate change after Joe Manchin, the Democratic senator who has repeatedly thwarted his own party while making millions in the coal industry, refused to support more funding for climate action.
The alternative is a bat **** crazy Republican party who wishes to turn the country over to the Cristo-facists. No thanks. I'll take the current Democrats, including AOC, over that any day of the week.
Excellent point. It's fascinating how people on here get considerably less upset over paying many more billions to advance war on the other side of the world, while flirting with setting off nuclear war. I prefer worrying about saving the planet from nuclear winter. Climate change for now is less scary.
