Climate Change Political Tipping Point?

[Kyulen]

I believe the nation has reached a public opinion tipping point on climate change. Politicians, who in the past -- I'm looking at you, Senator Rubio -- have tried to avoid any government action to address climate change and who have questioned the scientific basis supporting climate change, will find their political careers increasingly constrained by their prior statements.

Even if this is correct, that would just mean that now politicians from both major parties will be saying nice things about dealing with climate change, while they still actually do nothing about it since almost all of them take lots of donor money from the big fossil fuel companies.

You’re being so disingenuous. China isn’t just the number one polluter and we are number two, China pollutes more than the US and entire EU COMBINED. Not to mention since the year 2000 the US has cut their pollution by about 15%, meanwhile during that time China went from being the number two polluter in the world to again being the number one polluter pumping out more pollution than the US and EU COMBINED.

Why do Democrats keep screeching about climate change but continue to give China a pass?

Democrats love China because China hates America.

Both are also asshoe.

Didn't you hear the news? It's only republicans that are bad and democrats are everything that is good and pure.

If I had a dollar for every "expert" that claimed "ZOMG WE ARE AT A TIPPING POINT AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SPEND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON STUFF WE CAN SAVE THE PLANET!" I would buy Simutronics and shut this shit game down.

The fact that you apparently hate Gemstone, in addition to not playing it, makes your obsession with this forum even funnier.

Speaking of your obsession, be sure to post in your meltdown thread right away.
