It is so disheartening to see how many people believe in climate change misinformation that makes them think its not something we need to take action on now.

There was a trumpian whom I talked to online, and he acted like people who believed in climate science were all triggered "snowflakes."

Why do you want to live in an unethical society?

Man, the number of deep state radical traitors Trump personally appointed is truly impressive.

I wonder if the cult has ever considered whether...Trump himself is part of the conspiracy?

It’s shit like that that makes me super concerned about what it will take to get things done. Like it feels like we’re going to have to wait till it is or is almost too late, or use violence to get anything done. And neither of those two options are particularly good ones.

Not going to happen. Many people are sheep that like the security felt from big brother controlling them. many also don't believe in personal responsibility. If you spill hot coffee on yourself or become obese from eating too many McDonald's hamburgers, or get scared by a movie poster and fall down the stairs, it is the fault of a big company and not your fault.

Libertarians want to treat adults like actual adults and that is too scary for most people (worldwide-not just the USA).

Yah I don’t know where that comes from and I’m not about to trawl through my comments at this time of night.

However that government doesn’t need to legislate itself a position for ethical debate in society.

..."anything that the public may someday change its mind about should not be legislated on" seems like a rather sweeping approach, to me.

I think the US needs radical political re-alignment before it can seriously consider to face the challenge of climate change in a proportionate and decisive way.

It's just a term. Huang is asking where/how you draw the distinction, specifically, between things the government should legislate on and things it should not legislate on.

What is the purpose of a government, then? Just to sit there looking pretty?

To keep social order mostly, along with like making sure there’s not literal slavery going on, and they’re not exactly doing that by saying gays can’t get married or what types of plants are oaky and which aren’t.

to be fair, after not stopping (and likely encouraging) trump from sticking his tiny dick in batshit, i'd be amazed if trump paid him for his time

The whole dismissal of her case is part of a PR campaign to muddy the issue, your attitude has been created and defined by others aiming to strip you of your rights.

Do you question climate change, or think smoking is a case of individual rights? These messages have been created for you to think.

Climate change is a natural process and the world was actually much hotter during the time of the dinosaurs. Yes, humans are partly but likely not all to blame.

The question is, can you provide a formal definition?

Tree planting campaigns can help solve the problem. Anyways, it is about choice and you are not forced to drive a gas guzzler or use coal at home if you are a tree-hugger just as people should be allowed to eat meat or not eat meat based on their ethics.

There isn't some judgement day where the universe evaluates how environmentally conscious you were and gives you a corresponding climate bubble. It is as much as a choice as it is a choice for you if someone blows cigarette smoke in your face.
