  Stop calling them sceptics and calling them what they are: liars, willful deniers and shills. Purposefully rejecting reality in pursuit of personal gain. There’s nothing sceptic about that.

  I’m glad there is no fracking needed around us. My groundwater source is fairly safe.

    Maybe Dems shouldn’t have expanded oil drilling to the highest levels on record while leasing off more BLM than previous administrations, while campaigning on genocide.

    The owners of the US finally being honest is no different in effect than them hiding behind lies they never intended to fulfill.

  The comparison of the person proposed for the equivalent position in the European Union is interesting.

    Of course it is. They’ve not (yet) been taken over by billionaire fascists.

    I really will never understand how every single terrible worst person in every single spot is going to make America great again.

      When they say “great” they mean “cruel” and we hear “terrible, racist, misogynistic, impoverished, and needlessly violent.”

      This is what they want. Total dismantling of every system that impedes capitalism and Christianity from absolute authority.

  “There is no climate crisis and we are not in the midst of an energy transition either,” he said, adding that “the term carbon pollution is outrageous” because all life depended on carbon dioxide.

  “There is no such thing as clean energy or dirty energy, all energy sources have impacts on the world both positive and negative,” he added.

  Trump is setting up a race between climate change, pandemics, and world war.
