    In all fairness, accurately reporting the current trajectory of climate change doesn’t make for very watchable media because the whole segment would just be the news anchor wordlessly alternating between panicked screaming and hyperventilation.

    This is why it’s so important for all of us to be having conversations about climate change. We don’t have to leave it to the media to set the agenda.

      good point but we could also start voting Green to move the Overtone Window so the media does start talking a out it more

        Definitely vote green 👍

        However, I suspect that while the media will cover climate issues for clicks (which they have to do to survive), they’ll ultimately continue furthering their own interests as a class by publishing content that delays action.

        Most media is owned and staffed by people who will have to give things up if we’re actually going to tackle climate change.

        So fuck 'em, unfortunately. Like this summer shows; we don’t have time to wait for them to get on board, and we can’t count on them to help.

        Green, like Reform/Restore, have 50% batshit policies and 50% sensible. It pains me that we can’t have a political party that lives in the real world without batshit crazy attached.

          Labour are closer to Reform/Restore than Greens are. Economically, Labour are more likely to side with oligarchs (greens want a wealth tax, Labour doesnt. Socially Labour are more right wing than Greens (island of strangers speech, transphobia, support of an active genocide etc.) Economically and socially Labour are closer to the crazy Reform/Restore than Greens.

          Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, every party is going to have some thing you disagree with.
