The also just secured a $10 Billion contract with the US military, which is one of the largest emitters of carbon on the planet.

Americans have been reticent to downsize the military for the benefit of everyone else on the planet, but we might just get around to it for our own benefit in reducing emissions.

Three things are true:

* We cannot let despair prevent us from acting. The big changes needed are possible, and we need to accelerate them.

* We actually don't know with certainty how bad it is going to get.

* People, in general, are not scared enough right now.

The satire is a little imprecise here, but this is literally why there's a Green New Deal being proposed. We can address climate change AND make sure everyone has a livelihood while society undergoes the massive changes necessary.

The future of the species is literally imperiled right now because we've allowed rich people to hoard wealth, so that's a reason to care.

What you're missing is nuclear is too slow to spin up! We simply don't have time. We need to cut emissions 50% in 10 years, and nuclear is not going to get us there. Look to other renewables.

you're going to let a bunch of astroturfing people wreck your platform and it's not going to be useful to anyone. you're being naive.

We have 10 years to cut 50% of emissions. We literally can't build enough nuclear plants in that time, it's very slow. It's also really expensive. We have to use other renewables.

Wow, this doesn't instill confidence in your moderation abilities. You need to show people who "disagree on the causes" the door.

Because nuclear takes too long to spin up - we don't have time.
