Donald Trump’s pick for Energy Secretary has close ties to oil, gas, and nuclear energy.

    Not much of a downgrade from the Biden admin acknowledging the climate crisis, and then not doing a thing about it. Still refusing to abandon fracking, setting fossil fuel extraction records, and trying to ban Chinese solar panel & EV imports.

    Let’s aim for the next Dem to do more than just acknowledge it.

        Lying about your side didn’t help you win the election and now you’re just doing it out of force of habit.

        You’re worse than the trumpers because they aren’t trying to mislead people who care into opposing their own values.

    I find it really baffling that climate change denial is so strong in America given the ectreme effects the country is already seeing.

      Unfortunately, Republicans have spent decades systematically destroying public education in this country, and this is the end result. When Trump said “I love the poorly educated” back in 2016 he wasn’t really saying anything new or breaking from the mainstream GOP stance… He was just honest about it, unlike the rest of the GOP who have always described their supporters with cynical euphemisms like “salt of the earth” and “regular folk” when they really mean ignorant rubes.

    Even the oil companies admit the climate is changing, they just refuse to take responsibility. These clowns are in straight up denial mode. Just pretend the hurricanes aren’t there and disregard your thermometers. It will all be fine. Oops, ignore that forest fire… it’s, uh, just an illusion.

I was like while I don’t think radio waves are good for us, I had to ask… What pipe are you smoking off of?

      Remember when everyone that got the COVID shot would be dead in 2 years.

      These are Christian nationalists, they love death cults.

            I guess when the FCC collapses during the next administration I can finally implement my project idea that does text transcription and then just automatically starts broadcasting Ram Ranch whenever hate speech is detected.

      I just saw this movie a day or 2 after the election. I felt it would have been funnier had the outcome been different, but now it feels less like satire.

    There’s no climate crisis, but guys, there are evil Democrat controlled weather machines that generate hurricanes and droughts! Coal power plants, mines, oil refineries, old landfills, all emit radio waves and lasers to communicate on the GHG network with satellites that generate the weather!!!

    They’ve saved us! Just like when they fixed COVID by telling people to stop testing and then sent our tests over to Putin

      Facts don’t care about your opinions. When Florida ends up underwater., when the dustbowl gets worse and people start baking, you can try to blame everything else but the fact will still remain.

        The people in charge don’t care about long term solutions, they want short term profits by continuing to rape the planet. They figure they would be dead before climate change actually happens or they make money from it.

          Sorry meant to post that at the top level about the people trying to ignore the issue. That wasn’t aimed at you.
