Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Did they fly with their private jets there too, so they can make new important promises that they will DEFINITELY fulfill?

As long as conservatives exist, they will continue to do the bidding of their coporate overlords, making climate goals completely impossible to achieve.

If you aren't fighting conservatism, you aren't fighting climate change.

500 billion a year is still less then the us military budget.

War is still more important then collective survival.
