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.
What climate goals? I see a lot of talk about deadlines and dreams. I don't see much to indicate that there are any goals.
In sports, a goal is something that everyone puts coordinated and concerted effort into achieving.
In business, a goal is something that everyone puts coordinated and concerted effort into achieving.
If the climate "goals" that were set in the 1990s, weak as they were, had been actual goals, we'd now be planning the closure of the last pipelines, not celebrating the opening of new ones and planning for the next. We'd be planning the closure of the last oil and gas fields, not looking for new drilling and fracking opportunities.
Sure, Trump and his ilk are going to make a show of getting in the way, but it's not like there is any coordinated, concerted effort for them to block.
Biden approved oil drilling so IDK why we even include Biden as a choice
Beats me. We've got our own lip-service politicians to deal with in Canada. And absolute disasters... 😠
