    Don’t own a house. Don’t own a car. Don’t own a business. Don’t eat meat. Don’t have children. Quit the gym, physical strenght is not needed anymore. Eat the bugs. Get the vaccine. Take the meds. Work for a big company. Go home and consume Netflix. Rinse and repeat.

    After all, you want to fix climate change… right?

    Why don’t we stop the San Andreas fault too… we can’t. No tax will stop the tilting of the Earth causing climate change. All we can do is adapt…

    Why are we listening to celebrities who are leading the way in our climate crisis with how much they exacerbate it with their 10,000sqft homes, private jets, well manicured lawns (in a drought)? No thanks

    The emissions from methane release in the arctic have screwed us already. We can’t stop it. Slowing down now will only handicap our ability to address the effects.

    It’s a different time of year. You need to set goals and take bold steps to achieve them. Remember that success does not happen overnight. You just have to stop procrastinate and try what you have always wanted, improve your life and well-being, investment property will take you to your dreams.

    Blah blah blah, global warming, blah blah blah 7 years, blah blah blah, climate change, blah blah blah, Climate PAC. Move along, nothing new to hear from Ms. Fonda. Ms. Fonda spoke with people who were frozen to death in their own homes in TX (9:48), when the alterative energy sources miserably failed.

    Jane Fonda- climate action expert and the left’s favorite commie. You know what my climate concern is? NOTHING. The world’s climate will forever be changing, no matter what mankind does. Climate change is all about the accumulation of power, control, wealth and the ability to redistribute.

    Jane is pro-communist. She sided with communist North Vietnam against the anti-communist West. Watch her Actions, not her words. They use emotionally appealing, flowery language to draw you in when they intend the opposite. Its normal. This is how the Tavistock Institute mind control centre coach them.

    Why do these movements pick objectively awful people as “leadership”. This gross surgery monster doesn’t care about the cause. Only virtue signaling and money.

    Legitimately, is climate change happening in our own solar system? On other planets? Please take care of the environment, but don’t give these fakes free money.

    In order for the Climate Change Conference not to lose its credibility and lose its reputation, the conference must be postponed to the next year.. because of the intransigence of the failed Egyptian government, which has so far continued its repressive violations, arrests and enforced disappearance of political and opposition activists.. A failed conference before it began, as the number of detainees exceeded more than 40 A thousand detainees in prisons

    7 years to cut half the use of fossil fuels?😜Jean, please look for a realistc goal, even with full support that’s impossible. I mean, physically impossible without going back in the past to medieval times.
    A realistic goal would be to avoid 2.5 degrees increment.

People need to travel not just the rich that can afford elektric cars or fossilfri planes! I stopped my activism when my ”friends” told me that my travel was for a ”good cause” so it didn’t matter that I drove my car a lot to go to all these meetings. I felt appaled!
