(982 posts)pushing free trade agreements that cause US corporations to move to foreign countries so that they could pollute freely.
What kind of environmentalist would do that?
And then to tell us to change our light bulbs and not say a damn thing about buying all our products from China.
It is time to attack pollution! Stop arguing about whether the earth is heating or cooling, and just get rid of the pollution that is causing asthma and cancer, which we can all agree is a problem. The rates are rising astronomically.
First of all, clearly, We need to end free trade agreements. You don't buy all your products from countries that pollute and then point the finger at them. What a bunch of hypocrites. We are supposed to set and example, have real regulations, only buy and sell products that are produced responsibly.
They want to divide and conquer, and this argument helps to serve the 1%ers whose solution is to tax us more.
Let's just clean up the air because it's the right thing to so, I'm sure we could get some sane Republicans behind that.
And then, there are amazing scientists our there working to help us, Let's focus on them. Quit arguing with Republicans about whether it is happening or not, and get these solutions going. We have algae that eats C02, Brits just came up with a way to turn CO2 into fuel!...our scientists have developed ways to help us and they need our support. WE need to focus on solutions and ignore the people who are still denying evolution for Christ's sake!
