    As intended. The wealthy few don’t buy Supreme Court justices for no reason.

    The decisions aren’t just about undermining climate policies - they’re more broadly about eliminating any impediments to the wealthy and empowered few raping and pillaging to their hearts’ content, entirely free of any threat of consequences. But that’s ncessarily largely about climate, since that’s one of the most notable areas in which the wealthy few are causing significant direct and measurable harm and thus are most eager to avoid the consequences they so richly deserve.

      Duh. Every living thing dies. If you mean “due to climate change and political hackery,” may I remind anyone who is legally able to vote in the US that there’s an election coming in November, and there’s a lot of downballot races that matter with regard to ensuring Conservatives lose their various majorities (or are otherwise reigned in).

      We aren’t yet doomed, and if you genuinely think we are, you might want to consider taking a break from social media and the news cycle for a bit.
