I was Biden my time, but the time is Nye.
“Cringe Bling from the Genocidal Planet-Destroyer to the Complicit”
“Necromancer of the year being awarded to Bill Nye, delivered by the achievement that earned this medal: the animated corpse of Joseph Biden.”
“I hope this medal makes up for 2024 being the year of highest oil production in US history. Which happened in defiance of all the climate science you’ve been trying to tell us about. You know, as part of the years of science education this award honors.”
I really wonder what industry y’all work in that you think the entire energy grid and vehicle fleet can be remade in 4 years.
Don’t worry protest voters, we may be able to start from scratch again in another 4 years.
I see Lemmy’s famous misreading is happening. I want environmental policy. But I know things take time. People that think everything can be remade in 4 years don’t know how big industry is and how much work it takes.
Buddy. We’ve known about this problem since the 1970’s.
Where did I say we didn’t? Holy Lemmy never lets me down in how you misread.
The problem is everyone expects the Dems to solve it in one term. Now it’s Biden’s fault that he didn’t solve it in his one term. You know, remake the entire energy grid and turn over the entire vehicle fleet in his 4 years.
No, people expect the Dems to not exponentially make problems worse, since that’s their only function based on the last 80 years of their actions. Biden failed to do that simple function, and signed off more public lands to oil companies than trump and Bush Jr combined.
so you mean all the oil production that trump created, that biden kept relatively linear wasn’t good enough?
You want the dems to reverse everything the republicans do, and more? Good luck with a political campaign.
Misinformation isn’t allowed here, Biden raised oil production, Trump lowered it.bhttps://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPUS2&f=M

Yes, I want them to adopt popular bipartisan policies, like m4a, green energy subsidies, food subsidies, new government housing, etc
if you’re referencing that specific graph, the graph where oil production starts fairly high, and then drops significantly due to covid, and then rose back up a little bit higher than where it was previously. Compared to the 2016-2020 period where there is a very clear and distinct rise in production? Even including the 2016 lull.
I wish this graph was a little cleaner, and didnt include 100 years worth of oil production, and also had a rate of change average over the top of it, that would really demonstrate the point i’m making.

i would like for them to adopt these as well, but i fear almost none of these are going to be “bipartisan” the political climate is just too much of a disaster for this stuff to matter right now. Also, doesn’t the IRA bill literally subsidize green energy? As well as appliance and utility upgrades for home owners.
4 years? Climate scientists have been warning the world about climate change for about half a century, and urgently for a few decades. Bill Nye specifically has videos going back at least 13 years.
Don’t just blame the 2017-2021 Trump presidency either for the current high, if that is what you mean by your “reworking the energy grid/vehicles in 4 years” argument. US oil production was at its lowest since about 1950 under Bush Jr. then climbed again dramatically through Obama’s 2 terms. Then the Biden presidency started after a year of “low” production (that was actually higher than anything pre-2017) before climbing again steeply during the last 4 years. This is a problem of both parties, and the worst of it has happened in the last 13 years of which 9 were under a Dem president.
wasn’t most of the fossil fuel increase under the obama admin an increase in natural gas? Rather than oil/coal, in order to replace, said infrastructure, as it’s cleaner.
May be cleaner to burn but we’re getting it by fracking which is terrible.
i mean, mining coal is also objectively terrible for the environment so…
Oh yeah we will just keep waiting and watch them do significantly less than the bare minimum until the famines begin to finally affect us. Then, we will do something about it I’m sure.
Every time they run on an environmental policy, they lose. Every time they implement an environmental policy, they lose. And you’re amazed they aren’t gun ho about it? Like they just lost despite the green energy in the IRA. And Trump won with drill baby drill. Do you think Dems will run on it next time? Fuck no they won’t. They won’t touch it with 10 foot pole. They will run on “It’s the economy, stupid.” If you want environmental policy, you need to give them consistent and overwhelming victories.
Yeah so we should dismantle our political parties. They clearly don’t care about us and are willing to let us die horrible deaths. They do not serve us, they serve their donors and we put up with it for now.
call me when you get inside the whitehouse grounds.
If only popular revolutions were so easy
ikr, if only saying things on the internet would manifest them into reality.
Bill Nye receiving Medal of Freedom for his dedication to science education :)
Bill Nye, Freedom Medal Guy!
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
He don’t even be a scientist though??
