[QUOTE="Lotta Booze, post: 685771, member: 4471"] I think the issue regarding the bolded boils down to a couple things: 1 - the polarity and tribalism of politics has led to environmental issues to become a left/right issue when I don't think it should be. And so you may disagree with the extent that the Democrats or the left feels they should address it....the other side of the aisle is taking the position of "We don't even know if the planet is getting warmer....but if it is it's not humans doing it so keep on keeping on". And rolling back regulations to prevent polluting waterways, etc. And especially amongst the twitter left there's an endless amount of purity tests of thought where if you don't believe "exactly this" then you are x, y, z. 2 - There are differences of thought as far as urgency and prioritization. Some may think that obviously pollution isn't great and we should limit it but what happens happens and we'll figure it out down the road. I think a previous poster mentioned something like this with the waters in Florida. "If they still live there when it happens then they've had ample warning". Which doesn't really add up when one side is claiming that there is no issue and all is well. While the other side views it as an existential threat for human beings that don't have the luxury of time to wait for the market to adjust or come up with a solution when it's too late and view government action as the only recourse left.
