damn, how dare that kid miss.

It’s already 10-15 degrees above normal here consistantly. We’re screwed regardless.

I would really like to just be able to ignore the shitshow of US elections the world is subjected to every four years. But unfortunately the consequences are potentially huge for anyone living in this planet. And we haven’t even lived down George Dubya yet.

I really don’t know it would get “far, far worse” that the way we are currently heading to. I just think he may get us there faster

I don’t think hyperbole like damage lasting for millenia is worth much. People don’t think in such terms and the only people who will listen to that are those who are already on the side of climate action.

The articles call to arms is right, but this is not the way to beat trump. Instead of damage for millenia, the focus needs to be on convincing people that his short termist policies will damage then financially and personally.

Instead of cheap renewable electricity he wants to use voters tax money to subsidies and promote fossil fuels. Instead of clean cars in cities and towns, he wants to choke you and your children with petrol fumes.

An image of trump in a jacket covered in fossil fuel company sponsorship logos, and trying to force an exhaust pipe down a child’s throat is the kind of thing that summarises his position. We’re not trying to convince die hard republicans, just the moderate centre / undecideds that trump will harm them and their children directly with his policies, let alone millenia of damage.
