'Game over for climate action': top climate scientist on 2nd Trump term

Sorry yall... turns out that short-term stock market gains are more important than the continuation of the species.

Al Gore said we had 30 years to turn things around. That was in the 90s. Oh, well. The planet will survive. We won't.

Children don't inherit the world from their parents when parents are stealing the future from their children.

A good time to be old and childless. I rest easy knowing that I have condemned no human beings to the hellish future that is coming (getting some previews this year). More CO2 into the atmosphere this year than last. More next year than this and even more the year after. There is a very sharp cliff on the other side of this mountain that we are climbing but hey those billionaires are getting even more money that they can't spend so well worth it right?

So it's all of greedy billionaires and millionaires.

Prepare for ArMAGAgeddon.....

The criminal would fix climate change with a sharpie! 😂

Yes. We need to start taking his promises and his second term seriously— put his words into practical context. Donald Trump is the single greatest threat this country has ever faced and we need to take him seriously.

When money is the most important thing, anything else that gets in the way becomes expendable. Persons, places or things. Meanwhile you can plant as many trees around you as possible. The food kind, berries, stone fruits, apples. Set up rain collection barrels at rain downspouts. Ride your bike everywhere you can. Plant a garden where your lawn is. Buy from thrift stores first. Do not waste anything. Drive less/combine trips. In other words stop being a mindless consumer all of the time.

Sadly, when the realization crosses political lines, the conservatives will blame the liberals for letting it happen.

It's The TRUMpocalypse.....

Most epic “I Told You So” coming soon

The biggest problem is that, most citizens of rich countries are not willing to make sacrifices in order to cut emissions, even though more and more of them have suffered in one way or another , the terrible effects of climate change. Most US voters see the price of eggs as something immensely more important than climate change, and they believe that trump will somehow fix this, because “things were better when he was president”. It’s really insane how voters are ok with the party of climate and science denialism back in the White House.

How is this not the number one issue in this election. It seems to me that if the US doesn't get this issue right then all the other issues, democracy, abortion, the economy, etc.... won't matter.

Did he say “plutocrats” or “pollutocrats”? I think that greedy polluters should be called “pollutocrats” from now on.

If you believe Biden didn't do enough, please realize that Trump will destroy all of Biden's advancement.

We're a bunch of frogs in the kettle over the fire, it sucks that some of our frog friends are claiming that it isn't getting warmer at all. It's always hot in summertime. Still other frogs say the heat is really a conspiracy made up by the people who sell kettles...

Equal use of oxygen as an organism does not mean you have equal expertise on any given subject. When you get up in the mid 90% of actual professional scientists agreeing on something, you don't point at the remaining 5% and say, "See? The scientists can't even agree...".

Sigh. VOTE BLUE! This is too important.

Basically what you are saying is that if trump is re-elected,the world comes to an end as we know it?
