MODERATORS
There are no climate goals that can be met as long as conservatives have influence in U.S. or EU politics.
Conservatism is a plague that is extremely devoted to the continued heating of the planet. We will need marginalize conservatives on an international scale in order to see substantial progress.
In other words, if you aren't fighting conservatism, you aren't fighting climate change.
Really important to say it, but you need proper goals in the first place. It is better to miss a 75% reduction goal then to make a 25% reduction goal.
We should also note that big companies like to prop up conservatives to defend them.
Because often the conservative is a board member or significant investor. It's about time we called it for what it is, corruption.
