What progress could they possibly be thinking of?

And then there's the classic lib thought process that criticizing or not voting for Dems means voting for Trump.

What do you mean? Biden's made plenty of progress on climate change. From expanding drilling leases on federal lands to building out the LNG infrastructure, which is likely contributing hidden emissions through methane leakage, to making sure that the US is not meeting its share of the emissions reductions necessary to keep the planet under 2 C (i.e., the threshold at which we lose virtually all of our shallow-water coral reefs), he's zealously guarded America's status as the world's #1 climate change contributor.

Oh and he passed an EV tax credit that's definitely going to mitigate all that, I almost forgot.

which is likely contributing hidden emissions through methane leakage

Undoubtedly.

There is no gas infrastructure which does not leak. It's theoretically possible but it's an impractical proposition in real terms and in terms of cost.

Reminder that methane is about 150x as potent as carbon dioxide over its 11-ish year lifespan in the atmosphere before degrading into, you guessed it, carbon dioxide.

Good thing that the next 11 years aren't the crunch time for climate change, right?

A few years ago I was taking a nap in the afternoon sun on the back porch and when I woke up there was a squirrel next to my bare foot with its tail touching me, as soon as I woke up they got scared and ran away

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
