Like I needed another reason with this guy.
It's astounding how one person manages to be so deeply unlikable.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

You've got at least a billion dollars less than the people he cares about being liked by.
I need someone to say publicly "Every time you hear someone say 'clean air and water' in response to a question about climate change, it means they don't understand what climate change is"
Just like he wiggled into that sofa’s DMs
Walz: Trump is “fickle”. Add that to the “weird”column.
His bullshit response said all we need to know: The answer is this guy is a spineless, lying, piece of shit.
He's like a slug with delusions of humanity.
"Climate change isn't real, but if it was, we would need to pump more oil and natural gas in the United States to make our energy sector strong for the oncoming crisis."
"Oh, and don't buy solar panels from China, because they're dirty foreigners."
And Walz, who spent the whole debate staring at the podium scowling like a rotten jack-o'-lantern, was so out of it he couldn't effectively call out Vance's bogus definition of clean energy and bring up the Build Back Better plan and Biden's investments into the US energy economy.
What the fuck.
"Also, let me shoehorn in the Mexicans real quick."
"Millions of illegals!"
"Actually, the people you're referring to are legally in the United States with temporary protected status..."
"They're still here illegally because I say so, illegal illegal lalala"
They have darker skin than Vance, so he sees them as inherently criminal, irrespective of whether they've actually committed a crime.
So, Vance married a criminal? Maybe she is even an illegal by his definition.
