This portrays an UTTERLY FALSE equivalence between the party that’s making at least some effort to do what’s needed and correct and the one that is opposing any such thing every step of the way!
blame the parties for their inaction whilst not looking at the fact the parties do the bidding of their donors (big business), and their voters, who grasp at any straws handed to them, telling them Global Warming is a hoax? Makes no bloody sense to me. we have been told of the ‘greenhouse effect’ since the early 1970’s. We have changed very little in the intervening years and not all can be laid at the feet of political parties. We the bloody people have not challenged the parties enough and now we reap the whirlwind.
Guys, the point really is that it isn’t just the Dem and the Repubs, it’s the whole dam world. It’s the fact that everybody has whined that it’s too expensive to do anything about the climate crisis, without having a clue that it’s too expensive NOT to do anything about it. Granted, the Trumpistas did a bad number for 4 years by walking out of the Paris accords, but that’s just one item. Is the fact that fires are burning all over the world except where floods are drowning the world and is leaving us all in a disaster come home to roost with enough people to do something about it? Stop with all the “it’s your fault” and get on with the program or watch a beautiful world disappear for millions of years until a new world is re-established—-without H. sapiens, the equivalent of the asteroid that zapped the dinosaurs (except maybe worse).
Considering the piss-poor woodland management of this country over the past 100 or so years, these fires are bound to be bigger, badder, and cause more issues.
Not to minimize or discredit any notion of our evolving climate either. Our forests are grossly overgrown, and the feds have only recently started to backtrack on fighting every single fire the moment it starts. These fires can be excellent for the forests in the long term allowing for new growth and better micro environments. The very wise Indians knew that for centuries and allowed them to burn. Now we’re stuck.
Ah yes. One side doesn’t do enough. The other side shuts everything down, denies the problem exists, actively works to make it worse. But they’re both the same.
^^ Oh I forgot that Al Gore made it all up. Boy that guy really has it out for mankind. The earth is just to darn big for us to make any sort of impact to it. SMaybe 200 years ago. Now you can go to the highest peak or the lowest crevice and find a man made particle. Sure volcanoes spew out CO2 but we add to that with even more. Plus we cut down as many trees as we can to make room for cattle and single crop farms. We’re F’d and so are the next ten to twenty generations, if humans even make it that far. It’s not just the republicans or the democrats. It’s everyone of us. But hey, that rich politician made a movie I didn’t like so it can’t be true.

And millions of educated Americans still claim global warming is a Liberal myth.

What climate crisis? Humans can`t change the climate. Less than 3% of the earth is urban. What part of arrogant needs explaining?
