no one did anything about that exxon report from the 80s that predicted pretty much everything that’s happened with the climate, so…
The fossil fuels industry has been able to buy enough power to block most action. We did get the Inflation Reduction Act, as well as other executive-branch actions in the past few years though.. It’s not yet enough, but if we can attain just a touch more political power, it’ll be possible to do a lot more.
That’s basically the roadmap for how we’re going to operate going forward
I know your comment is satirical so I don’t really want to take it in bad faith, but all the same. . . .
Lots of people are working reeaaally hard at changing society for the better, and reducing environmental catastrophe, the studies from the 80s sparked soneof the biggest environmental groups we have today (the likes of Green Peace and Friends of the Earth).
Lots of other people, often with money, are cynically blocking the protection of the human race for their own gain. And the majority of people are caught between these groups, often feeling despondent.
My point is, don’t get despondent, get involved! You can join the first groups efforts today, and it you do, you’ll be concretely helping the survival of our planet and society.
If you’re interested in specifics, both Green Peace and Just Stop Oil hold regular monthly/weekly welcome to all sessions (if you know about others, post them here!)

When do we as a society say that a corporation has done so much damage they need to be taken a apart.
When do the execs that hid this information get prosecuted for destroying the future of our children?
When we as a society realize the governments we’ve made are inadequate and do things sans government approval. Not advocating for anything that is distasteful to any neolib moderation reading, of course.
Are you sure we can’t just vote harder somehow? Like, vote, but really really mean it.
The answer is obviously with the markets.
There’s an idea! Or maybe we shouldn’t vote. They might be on to us. Here’s the plan, we don’t vote then surprise sneak attack vote. They will never see it coming.
Edit: Much like my friend here. I don’t understand what voting is.
Of course. Because as we know, every positive event in history has occurred while holding hands and respectfully requesting what was required.
We’re too fat and happy to be doing anti corporation revolutions
Tbh we’ve known for at least a hundred years.
So they poisoned the well, you say? Alright. I will go and get my pitchfork.
And we’re holding big oil accountable for this double hurricane that just happened right?
Right?
