One top-line thing the new climate policy strongly suggests: If we spent even half of what we spend on the military, and avoided adding in concessions to the fossil fuel industry, we could eliminate most US climate emissions in a matter of years, not decades.

Here is a climate and eco-centred security strategy… #PLAN_E E= Earth; Everyone; Everything; Everywhere; Emergency. P.S. @marwilliamson I am sitting in the Melbourne Town Hall, waiting for you to come on stage!

Planets are volatile.

The new policy earmarks $369 billion over 10 years. If it passes, this will be the biggest climate package in US history, but it still only amounts to 4.6% of US military spending, and it includes significant concessions to the fossil fuel industry

"If we treated climate breakdown as the emergency it truly is, we'd halt it faster than anyone can imagine. As a society, we are barely even trying yet. Let's try for real and see what happens!"

We would also all be speaking Mandarin in 10 years. Have fun with that!

Every policy has lead to a dramatic increase in dirty pollution from countries with less environmental standards. You people realize we share the planet with others right? Offloading our emissions does nothing but make things worse.

Why tf are we now crying about Climate now? Wasn't the same predicted well over two decades?
