The United States government’s response to the climate crisis feels like we’re all passengers in a train racing at 90 miles an hour toward a cliff while the drivers assure us that they plan to “slow down” to only 80 miles an hour by 2030, or maybe 2040 — except by that time it already will be too late.

And here’s the worst part. That’s how it feels with a “liberal” Democrat, Joe Biden, as President and with the Democrats holding a majority in the Senate.

If Trump or another Republican wins the Presidency in 2024, they will surely speed up that train to at least 100 miles an hour.

But either way, we’re going off a cliff. 🫤

@breadandcircuses I feel this way about many issues with government. That slow pace to Hell isn't any less final than a quick pace. It's like being a frog in heating water. And seeing all the other frogs saying "this is fine."
