    Everyone should watch Sagan teaching climate change to Congress back in 1985: youtu.be/Wp-WiNXH6hI

      40 years ago.

      It’s so easy to lose sight among all the gish-galloping nonsense around these topics just how long the problem has been almost fully understood and very clearly articulated. It’s absolutely devastating to think about how catastrophically the world has failed to meet the challenge he describes here in the intervening decades.

        While I adore Sagan, the greenhouse effect was was proposed as early as 1824 by Joseph Fourier (yes Fourier transform dude).

        “gish-galloping nonsense”- Yes well largely because the O&G produce hire marketing firms to mind people’s minds away from the climate crisis. Advertising at/sponsoring sports like Canadian hockey games is a prime example.

    It makes sense to support him back then when Sanders was in his fifties.

    Only thing I'm pissed off about with Sanders if he never spent the time to build a movement, it's him, AOC and like two potential house representatives when he should have scores of candidates in his party.

      Thats basically what he’s been doing since his failed bid.

      You have AOC, Rashid Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna, Pramila Japayapal, and Mamdani.

      Plus an explosion in membership for the DSA, as well as groups like More Perfect Union, and his Fighting Oligarchy tour.

      There’s a reason he tells people they are the change we need. They’re the ones who need to run for local and state office.

      His motto since '16 has been “it’s not me, it’s us”
