Good news! It's gonna get worse! Much, much worse! Say thank you to petrol states and companies, preferably by blowing up their infrastructure

And a big thank you to politicians blocking major efforts to reduce carbon emissions thanks to lobbying by the industry and foreign governments.

The world finally needs to stop politicans getting huge donations and hold them accountable for their actions.

And also acting like "climate change" is a taboo topic that should never be spoken over the air, lest you offend someone.

It boils my blood that Republicans would blame Democrats for not sending enough aide during these times, all the while Republicans vote against initiatives drafted up by Democrats to combat these issues specifically.

They use issues like this entirely to rouse their base and keep their support.

But they brought a snowball into Congress and everything so obviously climate change is fake news!

Anything and everything for money... I wonder if they'll take cash in hell?

Alright so we're going to change how we vote, right folks? Green New Deal or they are literally selling us out.

You should read Ministry for the Future. It's about how people cope with the world after the effects of climate change get out of hand. It's sobering.

The idea of just blowing up the offending petrol infrastructure made me think of it.
