    Ok so you DEFINITELY don’t know what you’re talking about then. Climate change is one of the issues that they’re furthest apart on. One has repeatedly made efforts to work with the international community to expand green energy and reduce emissions, and the other believes it’s a lie and wants to double down on fossil fuel production and consumption. Just because it’s not the immediate, drastic, quasi-legal action that you’d like to see, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

        Except it does matter. If you can keep opposition at bay, slow change can very quickly turn into drastic change if you allow it to compound. The problem has always been people turning back any change made. So long as people still exist to enact change, we’re not out of time. Climate change is like riding an elevator down to hell, you can get off whenever you like, but the longer you wait the further you have to climb back up, there is no rock bottom but extinction. Defeatists like yourself are functionally no different than the deniers because you are discouraging action.

          No not at all. I’m encouraging that they do something. Right now!

          You’re the only one discouraging that
