Stephen Judkins: If you care at all about climate change, you have never before been presented a clearer and status starker choice in a presidential election

If you care at all about climate change, you have never before been presented a clearer and status starker choice in a presidential election

What Trump promised oil CEOs as he asked them to steer $1 billion to his campaignwapo.st Donald Trump has pledged to scrap President Biden’s policies on electric vehicles and wind energy, and other initiatives opposed by the fossil fuel industry.

Biden expanded the fossil fuel industry, allowing for further drilling.

Truly incredible commitment to the bit but unfortunately also extremely fucking stupid to just elide the *actual emissions reductions* given that the single fucking metric that matters is emissions, but thanks contributing absolutely fucking fuckall

Expanding the fossil fuel industry reduces emissions?

US per capita emissions have indeed dropped under Biden, but the long drop is going to come from the absolutely enormous amount of renewable energy that's being incentivized by the IRA. It's a transformative set of policies that actual climate policy experts are universally praising

You're A) absolutely correct, and B) almost certainly going to provoke outrage at the idea that two (or more!) things could be happening at the same time, with different and even conflicting vectors of change from each of them lol

dishonest questions dont appreciate thoughful answers

Lmao, just ignore alllllll that auctioning they “snuck” in there How many millions of acres a year?

What is the net impact on carbon emissions of Biden era policy? That's the number that matters. Isolating one variable and ignoring all the others is what *you* are trying to do, and it is nonsense if you care about the actual outcome; it only makes sense as a political trolling tactic.

Undone by expanding the fossil fuel industry. The long drop comes from shutting down fossil fuel extraction now.

It is literally not, emissions are dropping right now, this instant, even as the majority of drops will happen in the future

Oh, but they will try. I mean, the whole "Biden expanded the oil industry!" line is being spread around, while there is complete ignorance of Biden being the best President we have had so far when it comes to the environment and fighting climate change.

Not really. You just support it when your team does the bad things.

In this case we are talking about "will we have a livable ecosystem" and the answer is "under Biden we have secured maybe a shot at it" and "under Trump we are 100000% going up in flames" and if you look at that and say "I see no difference here" then you're either stupid or a traitor to humanity

Under biden, you'll be responding with wine memes while it's up in flames. You are a genocidal liberal. I've seen enough.

Ah fuck I forgot - it could be BOTH stupid and a traitor to humanity, how could I overlook it lol

Shut the FUCK up

This clearly shows that under Biden, the US makes a drastically stronger contribution to global emissions reductions, which disproves your claim. Between Biden and Xi reductions, the globe is actually in striking distance of where we need to be. A compelling argument for Dems, thanks for sharing

The mental gymnastics on display here

No, YOU shut the f#@k up. Because this completely destroys Klion's bulls#@t. threadreaderapp.com/thread/17842...

Except "my team" hasn't done "bad things". Look, I am sorry that you can't--or won't--bother to see the details. You want to wallow in the "both sides" trough, that's your choice.

Wow

Holy fucking Christ Go boil yourself

No. You, however, can go f#@k yourself. threadreaderapp.com/thread/17842...

Did you know that politics has more than one thing happening at a time and some of them are bad and some of them are good

Did you know that you are a genocidal monster? Just because you found a villain doesn't exempt your bloodlust.

Delightful

Just like your gaslighting

Ok broski, you have it all figured out, and I can tell from your charming approach that you're a top tier organizer doing tons of good in your community. It's almost a shame that muting you means I'll miss these bon mots, but on the other hand, I don't give a shit in the slightest :)

Indeed, a clear choice between poverty with misery and self-righteous Scandinavian girls screaming “how dare you” and modern industrial capitalism with associated cheap food, fuel & consumer products. Which will most American voters choose?
