Warren's increasing poll numbers.

By FortuneFaded Go To Postwho is this sociopath?
By Fenderputty Go To PostSurprisingly people in this thread too.Haven't been affected by sea level rise as much due to the bathymetry. Climate change has managed to change path of hurricanes to more northerly so we basically don't get hit anymore. Also I live in the Carribbean it's always hot.
Right … I mean it's not like the Cayman islands will be affected by global warming and sea level and temperature increase. Nope.
By Daz Go To Postwho is this sociopath?A prominent right-wing grifter, convicted felon.
By rossonero Go To PostI like how this quote is basically the same as this BS:Great so we hide behind kids when we want change 🙄 this is just like our Democrats letting the Parkland survivors do all the heavy lifting for them as they prance around issues until it's 'safe' to attach to their careers.
As if countless scientists haven't already been ringing the warning bells for years now and been ignored.
It's a straight up circus act and people eat it up lol
You can absolutely agree with obvious climate change and acknowledge how ridiculous it is that elected officials would pay good money to have some kid be the focus of attention instead of themselves. It's bad enough when parties parade around a victim or refugee to get their point across but this shit? I'd like to think people aren't so desperate for this type of idolization.

She can't be racist ... she dated a brown person.
By DY_nasty Go To PostGreat so we hide behind kids when we want change 🙄 this is just like our Democrats letting the Parkland survivors do all the heavy lifting for them as they prance around issues until it's 'safe' to attach to their careers.(Some) politicians have been trying for decades, with limited impact. For whatever reason, Thunberg cuts through. Sidelining Thunberg doesn't mean she's replaced by a new, more overtly political climate scientist who can gain global media attention talking about climate changed - it means we go back to those people being marginalised.

Sidelining Thunberg doesn't mean she's replaced by a new, more overtly political climate scientist who can gain global media attention talking about climate changed - it means we go back to those people being marginalised.Whatever she's 'cutting through' is circumstantial. People are seeing the effects that we were warned about concerning fracking, emissions, rising water levels, etc.
She isn't some eco Joan of Arc. The general population is more receptive to the topic because shit is finally hitting the fan. Everywhere. Its not like a getting behind a microphone and saying a mission to Mars is a possibility in our lifetimes is less scary than mentioning climate change anymore.
It's frustrating that it's so easy for people who say they want to see significant progressive change consistently look for and accept the path of least resistance/risk/responsibility from their leadership. That's not how it works and it's not how it ever will.
She’s not mired by the political quagmire and can say what she wants. She’s smart, capable and a breath of fresh air. She’s exactly what the movement needs. A young face pleading to old fucks not to leave her with a climate crisis. When the right attacks her, it only makes them look more scared and pathetic.
Lol sanders
Lol sanders
Dy's dramatic take aside, I think anything that shake people out of apathy for climate change is a good thing. Like Fender said, its harder for the gammons to tell the young faces they are about to screw to fuck off on the world stage.
People are only now starting to realise the inter-generational tyranny at hand, I guess its time for me to be dramatic.

Regarding impeach front:
A slew of R+ district Dems have come out in favor of impeachment this morning. They’re not being whipped by Nancy. They may be forcing her hand

By Fenderputty Go To PostSanders' remaining vote is at risk of being squeezed mercilessly. Vote Warren or you'll get Biden is a pretty strong message.
Lol sanders
Also, is this Gabbard's fourth qualifying poll?

So far Warren has pulled from Bernies old base some, but the question becomes where does the support for the lower people go to once they bow out? If those go to Biden since the lowers are more moderate, he'll gain. Warren's big jump will be when Bernie finally decides to bow out and his base goes to her. When does he do that? Historically, that won't be until late.
She's definitely in the race though and Biden is in trouble like he's not been in. Interestingly enough, she's benefitted from the Biden "scandal" trump has been pushing and I was reading analysis that suggests part of her rise has been her willingness to talk tough regarding Trump. She's been on the impeachment bandwagon for months now ahead of everyone.
I questioned whether she would be a better candidate than Biden to beat Trump, cause polling suggests that isn't the case. However, we know Trump campaigns dirty. Biden has this "scandal" trump will use to deflect like he always does. The DOJ, the Ukrainian government all can help Trump out with timed released of info drops like emails a la 2016. He can't do that with Warren though. Her scandal was native American gate and it's old and tired and not something that can be re-hashed during the entire cycle with the same effectualness. At this point if you like warren, you already have excused the native American incident.

By reilo Go To PostImpeachment is happening
BOOM!
By Lunatic Go To PostAlso I live in the Carribbean it's always hot.There's hot and there's 'why are more people getting skin cancer' hot.
By Flutter Go To PostThere's hot and there's 'why are more people getting skin cancer' hot.You don't get skin cancer from it being hotter but from Prolonged skin exposure to UV radiation.
By Lunatic Go To PostYou don't get skin cancer from it being hotter but from Prolonged skin exposure to UV radiation.And we were causing the thing that absorbs most of the UV radiation to deplete. Then people made an effort instead of just dismissing facts and it's starting to recover
By Lunatic Go To PostYou don't get skin cancer from it being hotter but from Prolonged skin exposure to UV radiation.no shit, and it's a side effect from the changing climate that effects everyone.
It's hard to say that it's our children that will feel the diverse effects of climate change too. The change is rapid, and we are not doing anywhere enough.
By Lunatic Go To PostYou don't get skin cancer from it being hotter but from Prolonged skin exposure to UV radiation.oh my god 🤦♂️
By Lunatic Go To PostYou don't get skin cancer from it being hotter but from Prolonged skin exposure to UV radiation.Do I need to spell it out for you?
Well Lunatic, I hope things have changed in terms of climate change policy in 2019.

I dont want to sound like a doomsayer, but things are really bloody dire.
Right now countries are treating the earth like a man withdrawing money from his ATM, ignoring to check the balance because they dont need a reminder that they're broke.

By Lunatic Go To PostDon't you drive a 2 seater V8…. Get off me with your faux care.And yet you don't see me trashing a 16 year old for promoting climate initiatives.
Besides, I put on less than 2500 miles a year no matter which car I own.
I ain't trashing her I just said I don't care what she says. But continue to twist shit like you always do.
By Lunatic Go To PostDon't you drive a 2 seater V8…. Get off me with your faux care.
That he probably drives maybe 3K miles a year on. Reduction of miles driven is more important that fuel efficiency when it comes to global warming.

Starting to make sense why so many resonate with the girl on a yacht versus people getting ready to fight a war over water
lol lunatic got you tbh
I really can't believe the wholesome, immediate embrace you guys have for the oracle child. It's never been easier to be a politician with a stance on climate change but sure let's admire the bravery of the rich girl.

Y'all seem to be concerned most predominantly about the messenger than the message no matter the convo, but alright.

I dont know how the United States will deal with the aftermath of the Trump Administration, even if it ends with an impeachment. For all the shit Obama has pulled, he has done a lot to help regulate stuff like climate change, and a lot of it has been taken away by Trump via executive orders in his first year.
Remember the 'if you want to add one regulation, you have to subtract two'? How it led to Boeing installing a flawed system in the 737 MAX.
Also heard that a recession has been overdue for a while now. Would it crash hard, because Im not really looking forward to it affecting Malaysia as collateral.

The playbook to dismiss this 16 year old girl is the same one that was applied to Al Gore and every other scientist beating the drum about this for the past two decades. When you dismiss the speaker you dismiss the message -- involuntary or not.
I'd rather the younger generation care than not.
If it's a rich white girl that gets everyone understand more about how bad things are, than fuck it. Im in.
It's better than people buying metal straws, decrying the plastic ones to do their part.
At the way things are going plastic straws in the ocean is the least of ocean life concern when rising ocean temperature is a thing.

Lol the GND was a stance (a stupid one IMO politically) but you’re acting like liberals haven’t been harping on this, all while critiquing her for ... being well off and young. Cynicism like this can’t be good for the blood pressure my man
