    How about the fact drill baby drill means seeing a 3 degree Celsius increase by 2100. That’s the lifetime of many of the people in this earth. That kind of change will kill many ecosystems and make deserts out of a lot where we live and grow food. We know we can’t stop going past 1.5 degrees now do to our slow changes. Instead we are hitting the gas pedal according to Trump. The oceans, plantlife on land, everything that consumes it is in jeopardy. Estimates are around 60% of animal populations have died off since the 70s. At some point you break the link in the food “chain” if you will, and larger masses die off, until it is unrecoverable.

    “We can farm fish”. <- We farm fish in the U.S. ship it to China to package and then ship it back to put it on our shelves. That’s how wasteful we are.

            I share your frustration. There are many narratives on Lemmy that you’re supposed to just know and parrot. Asking questions, even just for more information, is blasphemy. It’s plain pathetic.

              If their questions were innocuous that’s fine. Mine were as well. I presented a reasoning as to how millions will die as they asked. Then asked if there was part that they didn’t believe in, and gave them a link to information about the subject. I didn’t cuss, I didn’t name call.

              The person they are inquiring about is running on a campaign which has stated they will undo those environmental protections, and on the promise to “drill baby drill”.

              The cuss words came from them. (Fucking) And the name calling came from you (pathetic, which by the way, it’s okay to be frustrated, I’m not upset with your guy’s questions)

                The problem is far beyond anything you did here. You engaged substantively more than others, so kudos - no need to defend your honor line by line :)

          I believe all of that is happening with or without the results of this election. Some problems are bigger than red vs blue. We are failing en toto on this one. True, the in-flight movie on the Trump plane to hell is suckier than the one on the Harris plane to hell, but they land in the same place.
