New data shows, yet again, that the warming is happening faster than anticipated, and that now due to soil co2 release it will continue to pick up the pace.

We've really fucked ourselves long term.


And we can't fix it with just shifting energy policies anymore, either. This is a real problem to me: people won't even accept the need for renewables, but even if we stopped burning every fossil fuel on earth tomorrow, we're still fucked unless we figure out massive carbon sequestration or geo-engineering methods. So we need something even more aggressive than what anyone is even discussing right now, including the most radical left wing environmental groups. Unfortunately the flat earthers have pulled the discussion too far to the right for even barely effective tiny measures to be discussed.

If we had started pumping money into renewables 50 years ago we would likely have a robust renewable energy infrastructure and left over for energy for sequestration. Too bad conservatives have forgoten the that line in the bible about the love of money

Your tears are delicious.

I am, however, wary of using kids as political props. But I think this is a little different, in that these kids are actually directly affected by the government's inaction regarding climate change. They're the ones who will have to deal with the outcome of our action/inaction.

Too good to be true, and hence, probably not true.

Why claim that the kids are the plaintiffs? What a load of garbage. This will have an impact on the the kids, yes, but don't try to illicit more of a response when it's obvious that it's environmentalist pushing for this not 13 year old Billy.

21 kids didn't claim shit and it's a disservice to people that actually believe in this cause to whore kids out like this.


Them being kids is the point of the law suit, isn't it?

People {in charge} and persisting jeopardizing the environment should IMO be convicted for:

- planned poisoning
- murder attempt
- treason (national & international)

It's an agression against me and my people.

I was releasing animals and standing in front of bulldozers at a young age. To act like these kids are being used and not following their hearts based on their age doesn't seem fair or factual to me.
