Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Equating the documented and admitted truth of the Dem leadership rigging primaries to Trump's preposterous lies about them rigging the 2020 general shows either profound ignorance or colossal dishonesty. Be better.
…doesn't exist and you know it. Be better.
So this is just a figment of my imagination? This court decision was purely hypothetical? The former head of the party is just a disgruntled employee making shit up? ANOTHER former leader of the party stepped down just for funsies? This is just the fevered ramblings of a lunatic or a Trump supporter (but I repeat myself)? They weren't the main reason that Cuellar, the last anti-choice democrat in Congress managed to "beat" Cisneros whose policy positions were many times more popular across the board?
You really need to get your head out of the fucking sand and/or stop knowingly lying.
That is an opinion piece.
Kushner-controlled paper. Not credible.
Paywalled.
And no, I'm not interested in you copy-and-pasting the text for me, because I don't trust you not to alter the text.
Not an admission of guilt. Sometimes people resign just to defuse controversy, even though they are not actually to blame.
That isn't relevant. It complains about how down-ticket candidates are selected, but Bernie Sanders was on the ticket.
If that were true, Cisneros would have won the election. She came close, but she didn't get the votes. And no, it's not cheating for politicians to endorse each other.
The feeling's mutual. If you want to successfully deceive me, you're going to have to try a lot harder than that.
Ok, I give up. You go ahead and keep believing the comfortable lies of the establishment including that voters can't be influenced to go against their own best interests AND policy positions.
I'll be over here in the real world if you ever decide to wake the fuck up and join us.
Join you in doing what, exactly?
Telling the truth rather than what billionaire owner donors and their pet politicians PRETEND is the truth, for starters.
Plenty of people already do that, to no avail.
Preaching to the exhausted choir on that one..
