Reply to comment by beargrease_sandwich in International scientists find Earth is ‘unequivocally’ in midst of climate emergency.

You literally are the only people who can fix this.

Ok….so I work for an environmental non-profit org. The problem is the people you put in Congress like Manchin will block environmental legislation from every angle. We literally have fight everything that Fossil Fuel $$$ gives to Congress in court in Washington, DC.

These people are paid to kill legislation making corporations pay for their damage. YOU as a voter have the responsibility to rid your state of dirty energy congressional reps.

You peeps have GOT to vote in people who are not receiving millions from oil, natural gas and nuclear lobbyists. Manchin himself is holding the entire congress hostage as far as environmental legislation. One dude should not be able to do that. Vote him out. Vote them all out.

Why are you lumping nuclear in with fossil fuel?

Technically they're lumping nuclear lobbyists with fossil fuel lobbyists. If we were being charitable we might assume to the commenter we might assume that the nuclear lobbyists are also paying people like Manchin to kill funding for traditional renewable and laws holding companies accountable for damage.
