Climate change is a global issue.
And Biden broke fossil fuel production records trump set. And Harris passed the deciding vote to expand domestic fracking.
So give them credit for the bare minimum local things they do. Fine
But we need to demand they stop fucking up on the major parts
Shipping coal from WV to China creates more pollution than just burning it in WV.

Interesting way to frame “the line that has always trended upwards continued to go upwards”
I usually hate graphs that dont start the y at zero, and it would be better if it did, but here’s the first I found

But I think setting a new record for high temps year after year after year is a good analogy.
Does it suck that it’s still happening?
Yes.
But that sure as fuck doesn’t mean a 10 degree increase is the same as a 0.1 degree increase in average temps over the span of a year.
Like. How can you act that magnitude isn’t important at all?
The first 2 months of US supplied bombs bombing Gaza had the same environmental impact as burning 150k tons of coal.
They are not too concerned about climate change seeing the bombs and weapons they are providing Israel and Ukraine is leaving an ecological disaster in its wake. The first 2 months of bombing Gaza was the equivalent of burning 150k tons of coal.
