Until the federal government makes climate actions illegal. The party of "State rights" are going to be changing their tune real quick

I wonder if this will swing the Dems to State rights. It seems California is at least thinking about it, given the governor's new goal of Trump-proofing the state.

I wonder if, in a hundred years, the US will look more like the EU.

In 2 years we may start to look like Russia

I mean..... we ignore them on weed ? And sanctuary cities ? Why not on climate change too ?

I believe that we're going to see federal funding being used to coerce States into complying. Also a handful of Blue states holding on is not going to have much of a dent on climate change and its effects

I mean, if a state like California starts throwing its full weight around , I could see them leaving major populace states alone , particularly ones with major ports that could be levied as ways to force the federal government out of our business. All it would take us a few months of taxes on ports to suport our governments to get them in line , if the complain , well Alaska has taxes on every barrel of oil pulled to fund their populace , wouldent be much difrent. I mean if were gunna have a battle over states rights , CA will be pedantic and petty as they can. Its a double edged sword. Mind you I know if shit goes realy down , it won't mater , but I'm still unsure they know what a can of worms starting a full civil war would mean .

Just wait till they ban porn ! A whole generation of incel men unable to realy get around the internet, and having just visibly betrayed their generations women , no sex and no porn and all on the republican government.... the Republicans are literally putting targets on their heads with a generation they have convinced the only way to get what you want is violence . It's going the be January 6th but much much more French revelutionary .and they will deserve it. They can't just mind their own business. Nosey judgmental litttle bastards.

Those frustrated men will just be pointed towards feminism being the problem and the reason they can't get laid. Male sexual insecurity is gasoline on the fires of fascism. Maybe at least they won't have as much online fetish content to watch and get insecure over though... The point is, this could go any number of ways.

I have the uncanny feeling that this time will be different

They've never been the party of states rights. That, like literally everything else they say, was a lie

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
