Election of Donald Trump ‘could put world’s climate goals at risk’
(www.theguardian.com)
If you're an American, and you want to stop Trump, it's important to be actively involved:
- Check your voter registration - there's been an active effort to purge voter rolls, and if you moved or changed name, you'll need to register again anyways
- Talk with people you know about voting for Democrats up and down the ballot. Personal endorsement matters.
- Volunteer — it makes a real difference
- If you can afford it, donate to the Biden campaign. Even fairly modest amounts of money from a lot of people add up to being able to hire staff and run ads.
I don't mean to downplay the environment, but I think we'll have a long list of worries... 🫨
This is a c/climate, so we're talking climate. Lots of other reasons to prefer Biden over Trump (and to avoid third-party candidates)
And none of those other worries will matter when you starve to death because we fucked our ecosysten which we get our food from.
A lot of those worries are worries exactly because they divide and distract people.
Abortion was resolved in the 1970s... Until politicians found they could win votes and divide people by putting the right for a woman to have control over her body into the discourse; demonizing people and lying about abortion being baby killing is a great way to control people.
Migration, economy, even healthcare will all be fucked if we dont address the climate.
Google climate refugee, dengue fever climate change and climate disaster costs if you dont believe me.
