This is something that those of us who have been watching have been trying to tell the average Republican, namely, that, if you aren’t a Progressive, you are not a political opponent, but, an enemy
View from the Left: Fight our true enemies in climate change, white nationalism, disease
Whenever we’re on the verge of avoiding disasters and accomplishing something meaningful for America’s future, international welfare and life itself, obstructionists sabotage our progress. Both major parties, GOP extremists especially, take the myopic view human existence revolves around profligate economies ? prices at pumps, tenderloin sales (subsidized by taxes), mortgages; car loans.
Levying a $175 billion/year, decade-long tithe on tax-avoidant rich and corporations to fund Build Back Better is somehow too expensive, delaying passage of transformative, desperately-needed initiatives. Yet, the world’s most gluttonous military budget ($770 billion/year or $7.7 trillion projected over 10), emptying the government’s coffers, sails through Congress without a hitch. Because it didn’t hurt his coal investment business, even Joe Manchin shut-up and voted “Yes,” costing each of us taxpayers $5,000/year on average.
Where Build Back Better lessens global warming impacts and prescription drug costs, expands Medicare coverage to hearing aids and eyeglasses, and trims college and childcare bills, a mere quarter of the Pentagon budget goes to personnel. The rest vanishes into military-industrial-complex black holes. Ignored are America’s most dangerous enemies: climate change, white-nationalist militias, zoonotic diseases and a pseudo-Dark Age, fact-averse reliance on beliefs instead of scientific evidence and competency. Neutralizing those enemies remains top priority in 2022 as it has been for decades.
See? If you’re engaged in Wrongthink, you are an enemy. Period. They really do want to get rid of you. You are not entitled to your opinion, you must think exactly like the Progressives/Warmists. You cannot cite actual facts, only Cult approved “facts”.
Countless human, plant and nonhuman animal lives depend on Paris Accord objectives being met. Extinction rates are tragically high and warmer temps, extreme weather and rising seas will destroy critical infrastructure and properties, escalating insurance claims and costs. Even before wildfires, floods, and whirlwinds wreak havoc, shifts in societal risk perception will lower property values in danger-prone areas. U.S. storms produced 23 million more lightning strikes in 2021 than 2020, and in recent years, hundreds of millions of farm animals have died with thousands of Americans from unseasonable jet stream swings, floods, firestorms and heat waves caused by climate change.
As glaciers and sea ice continue to shrink, darker, newly-exposed surfaces absorb rather than reflect the sunlight, retaining more heat. If polar feedback loops speed out of control, oceans will rise catastrophically. The figurative and literal tip of the iceberg: climate change drives every priority.
Yup. It’s a cult. And it’s becoming more and more dangerous, more willing to label those with different political beliefs as enemies, and, once they start doing that, violence from the climate cult comes next.

California would enact a sweeping, first-in-the-nation universal healthcare plan under a proposal unveiled Thursday by a group of state Democratic lawmakers, providing health services to every resident and financed by a broad array of new taxes on individuals and businesses.
I want to get an electric vehicle one day. The reduced environmental impact and lower cost are appealing — but their range and the process of charging make me anxious to take the plunge, even as EVs go farther and charging points become more common. 
The U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled on Friday to hear oral arguments on emergency applications for and against the Biden administration’s 
Two new studies led by a North Carolina State University researcher offer a preview of what electricity consumers on the West Coast could experience under two different future scenarios: one where excessive heat due to climate change strains power supplies, and one where the grid shifts toward renewable energy while the climate follows historic trends. In both cases, they found power costs and reliability remain vulnerable to extreme weather.
The United States cannot be complacent about the Omicron variant of the coronavirus despite signs of its lower severity compared to the Delta variant, top U.S. infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci said on Wednesday.
