Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.

        We couldn’t get them to take the incredibly minor action of wearing a fucking mask so that they wouldn’t die of the plague. No way that we get the complete societal overhaul necessary to survive and mitigate climate change.

        Yeah. The right’s heads are shoved too far up whoever is promising them the end of the gays to be bothered to pay attention to the liberal agenda™ that we’re destroying the earth.
