Biden is halting the biggest fossil fuel expansion on earth
"Delaying"
And subjecting it to a test based on the damage done by its emissions. Realistically, that means we can stop it from being built.
Yeah who the fuck thinks this counts as "we all just won"?
This will be the model for future developments of climate change policy ....
"As the world becomes inhospitable, people die, liveable environments evaporate, forests burn, ocean acidify, and weather worsens ... we have to first think of the economy and the finances of a hand full of people who we all have to sacrifice ourselves for because their money is more important than our lives."
He blocked the fossil fuel projects for now. I call that a win.
...for now...
The ability to impose large delays on capital-intensive projects tends to keep them from getting built. I'll take it as a win
All of that is part of $7.8 billion finanancing they have secured, so this might very well be half a billion dollars they loose every year.
The things he's done have been dripping out at a slow and steady pace since Inauguration Day. He hasn't been perfect, with a couple of missteps along the way, but a world better than any Republican would have been
We'll win if we mitigate global warming to.1.5°C. I don't see Biden phasing out coal and fossil gas or setting lowered targets for oil. No, as it is, we will exceed 2.0°C.
He doesn't set targets for any of them. Full phase-out won't happen in his term, but Biden did set a policy of gradually ending them:
This can reasonably be said to be part of it.
fingers crossed!
Quit doing a victory lap hoping for Biden to fix it. He is no friend of environmentalists he is a neoliberal who is tanking his chances at relection to support a genocide.
He's the moderate compromise candidate, instead of the one who is out to tank the environment for spite. He's been doing a lot of the right things.
I'll go for that any day.
Vote for who you vote for. I'm in a hard blue state and I see zero reason to vote for Biden in the general. Those in swing states should vote for the democratic nominee that exists because to not do so helps Trump. In states where Biden is for sure going to win people should vote for someone else.
