    Wonder when people will start targeting the CEOs and other high ups of these companies instead of chaining them self to a tree, gluing themselves to a road, or whatever misdirected action.

      Soulless BMAs are s dime a dozen, and their lives are already so disconnected from the public I don’t know that’s the best action. Infrastructure is slow and costly to fix.

    This is the cause of global warming right here and why it will continue to happen. It happens because the governments DO NOT CARE about global warming. The climate conferences, media personalities like Greta, “green initiatives” all pale in comparison to the material support that current fossil fuels receive. If a politician is not publicly advocating for cutting off these subsidies at the very least, they are lying to you about their opinion on the environment. Do not vote for them.

    This is so sad, yet unsurprising. Fuel is big business… Big business is a controlling interest in politics. Until we tear down, it will not change. I hate to be sinical but optical “change” is all most politicians care about. It’s all about promising enough for re-election.

      Sadly that’s how most pollies are. Just enough to get reelected. No forward thinking. Only reelection.
