No. This isn't a "both sides" thing. Only one political party actually pushes to pass policy to improve the environment, tax the rich, and push for carbon taxes while the other side tries to prevent it. Maybe you should try to do your part like the scientists. Rather than pretend this isn't an issue.

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket and a head full of dreams.

He said somehow, some way, it's gotta get better than this.

Patti packed her bags, left a note for her mama, she was just seventeen.

There were tears in her eyes when she kissed her little sister goodbye.

Two reasons Rents are significantly higher in the city.

The suburban population tends to skew towards chains and more “comfort food”.

So the same reason there’s no Applebees or Fridays. (Excluding Waterworks, which is technically in the city)

I'm pretty sure any wealthy politician you vote for on either side uses more fossil fuels than I do, and electing them to office and ensuring their salary to keep spending on limos, flights, and steak dinners just contributes to climate change. If they believe in such policy changes, why wouldn't they currently live their life the way said policies say everyone should? They're free to eat vegan, bike everywhere, and not go to Starbucks under current policy.

I'm a legal secretary. You don't want to know how many trees every single legal case kills, no matter how small.

Oh are you protesting for climate change so much you're getting arrested for it? Writing to your congressmen? Suggesting policy changes? On top of all of those changes? Only voting Democrat since they're the only ones pushing for policy changes? If not then stfu
