Until the federal government makes climate actions illegal. The party of “State rights” are going to be changing their tune real quick

I wonder if this will swing the Dems to State rights. It seems California is at least thinking about it, given the governor’s new goal of Trump-proofing the state.

I wonder if, in a hundred years, the US will look more like the EU.

I believe that we’re going to see federal funding being used to coerce States into complying. Also a handful of Blue states holding on is not going to have much of a dent on climate change and its effects

I mean, if a state like California starts throwing its full weight around , I could see them leaving major populace states alone , particularly ones with major ports that could be levied as ways to force the federal government out of our business. All it would take us a few months of taxes on ports to suport our governments to get them in line , if the complain , well Alaska has taxes on every barrel of oil pulled to fund their populace , wouldent be much difrent. I mean if were gunna have a battle over states rights , CA will be pedantic and petty as they can. Its a double edged sword. Mind you I know if shit goes realy down , it won’t mater , but I’m still unsure they know what a can of worms starting a full civil war would mean .

They’ve never been the party of states rights. That, like literally everything else they say, was a lie

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
