How amusing is it, really?

I mean, if that is really what's going on here, you're going to die because I like eating cows.

Doesn't seem fair, does it Marcos?

Do Right, Be Right. :)

"The truth: It's too late. We will go extinct, very soon. Enjoy the time you have left."

So what are you going to do about it? Are you going to fight the end of the world? Or start enjoying yourself?




And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

REAVERBOT, I'm sure YOU were sure I was exaggerating

So, REAVERBOT, what are you going to do about it?

Call me a "Russian troll"... again?
Or are you going to finally pull your head out of your ass and start thinking about the REAL real world?

1kiki, there are more choices than either enjoy yourself or fight the end of the world. There is also vote against Climate Change Deniers. Helpfully, the business community provides a list of those Deniers, organized by state:

-warming-2019-2


The most famous Climate Change Denier is Trump.

What have democrats done to change the end of the world as we know it?

Here's a hint - this is from the DNC 2016 party platform: "... we must ensure federal actions do not 'significantly exacerbate' global warming." That's it. Well, except for the military contribution, which would expand unabated, along with our military footprint and interventions. ...

You gotta' give those democraps credit for really hewing to a good global warming plan!

Bloodletting was once "established science".

Prescribing laudanum (opium) was once "established science".

The Earth is flat was once "established science".

The Sun revolves around the Earth was once "established science".


You and your fellow "established science" climate-hysteria cultists can kiss my muscular buttocks.

There are 30 more lines about climate in the Democratic Platform, but I stopped cutting and pasting when I got enough to prove 1kiki lied:

Democrats believe that climate change poses a real and urgent threat to our economy, our national security, and our children's health and futures, and that Americans deserve the jobs and security that come from becoming the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.

Only the United States can mobilize common action on a truly global scale, to take on the challenges that transcend borders, from international terrorism to climate change to health pandemics.

We will protect communities from the impact of climate change and help them to mitigate its effects by investing in green and resilient infrastructure.

We will promote collaborative stewardship of our natural resources, while developing clean fuels that will grow our economy, lower our energy bills, combat climate change, and make America the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.

Our climate change policy will cut carbon emission, address poverty, invest in disadvantaged communities, and improve both air quality and public health.

Climate change is an urgent threat and a defining challenge of our time. Fifteen of the 16 hottest years on record have occurred this century. While Donald Trump has called climate change a "hoax," 2016 is on track to break global temperature records once more.

Democrats share a deep commitment to tackling the climate challenge; creating millions of good-paying middle class jobs; reducing greenhouse gas emissions more than 80 percent below 2005 levels by 2050; and meeting the pledge President Obama put forward in the landmark Paris Agreement, which aims to keep global temperature increases to "well below" two degrees Celsius and to pursue efforts to limit global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

One more quote won't hurt:
Quote:

We believe America must be running entirely on clean energy by mid-century. We will take bold steps to slash carbon pollution and protect clean air at home, lead the fight against climate change around the world, ensure no Americans are left out or left behind as we accelerate the transition to a clean energy economy, and be responsible stewards of our natural resources and our public lands and waters. Democrats reject the notion that we have to choose between protecting our planet and creating good-paying jobs. We can and we will do both.
The Republicans in the Senate, if they have 41 seats, can filibuster and prevent the Democrats from doing anything. It's the rule that the Republicans depend heavily upon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuster_in_the_United_States_Senate

Yanno what I see when I read the democratic statements on climate change?
blah blah blah
And more blah blah blah

Quote:

Democrats believe ...
Yeah? But what are they going to do about it?
Quote:

Only the United States can ... blah blah blah
Another meaningless talking point
Quote:

We will protect and ... blah blah blah ... by investing in green and resilient infrastructure
Oh yeah? Show me the money.
Quote:

We will promote ... while developing.. and make America blah blah blah
Sounds like one of the many badly-written donation appeals I get every year: "promote", "defend", "stand with", "fight for" ... long on generalities, short on practical action.
Quote:

Climate change is an urgent threat...
yep! So, what are you going to DO about it?
Quote:

democrats share a deep commitment ... blah blah blah
***YAWN!!***. Can I wake up now??

I throw hundreds of letters like this into the recycling bin every year. I only give to charities if I know what they're going to do with the money, and this is so mushy it reads like a giant scam and doesn't deserve three seconds of anyone's time.

What we need to see is ...
Quote:

We will impose a carbon tax, the money will not be retained by the government but turned back to the people in the form of a rebate
and
Quote:

We will cut our military budget by 50% and reduce our military energy use by at least that much
.

Republicans doing the lion's share of denial and obstruction is long-proven in this thread.

The "both sides are just as bad" Russian trolls have already been proven wrong, repeatedly.

What does a Russian troll do when proven wrong? Sealioning, as seen here.
