16.07.2025 21:27 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Democrats keep "getting caught in this stupid doom loop in which our pollsters say: Well, climate's not one of the top issues that voters care about, so then we don't talk about it" said Whitehouse. "So it never becomes one of the top issues that voters care about. [But] if you actually go ask [voters] and engage on the issue, it explodes in enthusiasm. It has huge numbers when you bother to engage, and we just haven't."
This part is also spot on.

10.07.2025 08:50 β π 19 π 6 π¬ 3 π 1As climate scientists, we can only tell you why climate change is happening and how severe the consequences will be. It takes voters to choose politicians who will listen and enact policies to avoid the worst possible outcomes.
12.06.2025 13:15 β π 775 π 219 π¬ 30 π 18Agreed. Leaders should have foresight. Or should I say, why canβt we elect leaders with foresight? This generation ( baby boomers) have been catastrophic custodians of our planet. And we knew. No excuse is there?

Bold climate action will. #EndFossilFuels
Trump, Putin and Netenyahu these three are just fucking it up for everyone arenβt they. ?
03.06.2025 10:17 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Reform has five MPs, the Green Party has four, and the LibDems have 72
Do you think the media coverage of each of those parties has been proportional to their representation in parliament?
A jury will decide. I think we have to trust the justice system donβt we? Itβs that or mob ruleβ¦.

π It's time to choose a healthier lifestyle!
Every year, 700,000 lives in the EU are lost to tobacco. It is the leading cause of preventable cancer in Europe and the biggest preventable health risk.
