Much of recent severe storm damage hit red regions hard.
Is it too much to hope the green energy movement moves pace in an unstoppable way and without them? I read before in Texas, despite it being run by denialist Republicans for years now, has become a solar powerhouse regardless.
Oh its fucking shit, my partner (climate campaigner) could barely get herself out the door this morning to go to work she was so depressed… also it was damn cold and grey today in Germany but the result was a real killer.
This will set us back decades, and it’ll be too late when we actually realize we have to do something. But hey Bezos and Musk are happy so it’s all that matters right?
It’s over. No hope remains.
The pessimist in me think we lost the battle on climate change last night
Tanking the environment is the one area where Trump put forth policies and made them stick. Putin has talked for years about wanting to thaw Siberia. So there you go.
Only upside is if trump does his tariffs usa might increase local green energy manufacturing, overall it’s a pretty shitty situation though.
I think it’s important for all of us to still have some hope. Yes, this sucks and is going to suck for a long time. This is going to have gigantic effects on climate change but the world is bigger than just the US. We can still push forward and do our own personal damnest to fix what we can.
I’m scared
always the same things : selfishness
Personally I think we are already screwed. Maybe humanity goes extinct a bit earlier now. Carbon sinks no longer working. Things are going to go bad fast.
Can thank the other half of Americans who didn’t vote
In fairness, while climate change was known by scientists, companies, and governments for some time, it really hasn’t been in a large amount of the public’s consciousness for all that long.
As we can see, the electorate is mostly the issue. They key is going to be about changing public opinion about what’s really important in this world, and hopefully it will help people to make better choices as consumers. Voting with dollars may be the best hope at this point.

From we do nothing to we do nothing?
