As long as the planet does it in a fair and equal fashion. There should be no prejudice involved when it comes to the extinction of the human race. if one goes then we all go.
I use to be a people person until people ruined that for me.

Audi?

comeon, what kind of car do you drive? Whatever vehicle that would not embarrass on the expensive summer club circuit. When going for a tour of a certain PA Div 3 school, located in Carlisle, the "student' parking lots oldest car was a 2014 Lexus SUV. I knew this wasn't the place for the offspring, learning how to be "woke", ignoring the income inequality problem . Even around Dick a son college.

Kind of like John Kerry opening the market, smiling because his "new" company wants to make energy SO expensive , for the poor....furthering their turmoil.

Yea....that really makes sense for a state that tells people to turn off their electricity, with rolling blackouts. Just add more load to the grid....that'll solve it.
A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself.

While I'm on board with that, it's interesting just how much responsibility has been shifted to the consumer. Everyone angry over straws? That's a literal drop in the ocean vs. industry, especially fishing as fishing gear is estimated to make up half the trash in the ocean. But what eats up the news cycles? Electric cars? 15 of the largest cargo ships emit the same amount of greenhouse gases as all cars in the world combined. But what eats up the news cycles and what kind of hype machine is driving Te$la stock?

I always give C&S a hard time when he talks about the money aspect. The "trillions" he talks about isn't anywhere near what's being spent on reducing our effect on the environment, but even if it was? You've got tens to hundreds of trillions in revenue every year invested in the status quo globally, with companies deflecting blame while only being interested in small, incremental change they control.

It's been a very, very uphill battle, and will be until it may be too late.
Thank you...thank you. Big bear hug. Thank you.
