No liberal party in the West has any plans to actually do something substantial about climate change, that's precisely why all of them increase militarization of their borders and other anti-immigration measures. This isn't an exclusively Amerikan thing, it's also political consensus in the EU, Australia and so on. They know what they're doing to the planet, they know the bourgeois class will not allow them to stop it, so their answer is "let's just prepare to keep out the people whose home countries our emissions are about to destroy."
Adopting new tech seems better than massively increasing migration pressures, no?
What new actually-climate-mitigating tech?
WHAT NEW ACTUALLY-CLIMATE-MITIGATING TECH DOES IT EVEN FUCKING EXIST?

Americans don't care about climate change, therefore let's pollute like hell.
Or maybe the majority of people are in the wrong? What is right is seldom popular.
This is a major issue I have with the current system of "democracy"... how do we handle when the majority is just plain wrong? Who can stop the majority from, for example, banning a COVID vaccine in a universe where Trump was re-elected in 2020. Or deal with people who aren't educated enough to understand climate science?
You build a new majority - look at abortion going from largely a fringe issue in the 1960s with relatively progressive views to the pro lifers now.
The challenge of western democracy under capitalism is that the dollars must come first, and are extremely influential in promoting views bring more dollars to the rich.
How did I know it was going to be Matt even before I read it. Honestly the man deserves a medal for having the worst possible takes on all subjects.
