The science of climate change is clear: We need to act immediately to avoid the worst consequences, and those consequences will now include the end of human life on this planet if we continue to fail to act. Since we won’t have a viable way to create independent colonies on other planets until long after those worst consequences have happened, the end of life on this planet means the end of all human life.
Unfortunately, the world is being run by dangerous extremists who are using renewable energy as a means of continuing economic growth instead of using renewables to replace fossil fuels. By “dangerous extremists,” I of course mean the Democratic Party. Oh, you thought I meant Republicans and other fascists? No — although conservatives are fighting against losing their grip on power in this world, they are still losing their grip, and our recent forays into fascism are indicative of the desperation that comes with conservativism when they are losing. And, yes, this is a global problem; 
however, the US still leads the way globally, and those other politicians in other countries who are making the same bad decisions are very much cut from the same cloth as Democrats in the US. That would be the cloth of neoliberalism and capitalist globalism.
They are extreme because their fanatical devotion to the cult of neoliberalism will literally kill us all if they aren’t stopped. They are dangerous because killing us all would be pretty much the most danger humanity can be in. (This should be clear, but I felt like I had to spell it out.) Calling them dangerous extremists is completely reasonable and accurate. Yes, I do realize that these horrific consequences are a long way off, but our actions today take about 30 years to manifest as a deadly climate. The problems we are seeing now are just a warmup, so to speak. A rational, compassionate government would be willing to sacrifice everything else to protect the existence of human life, so blaming this on the Republicans isn’t really going to work.
Why did Democratic Party voters vote for such a dangerous extremist? They had another candidate to choose in the primary who was not a dangerous extremist. I mean, sure, he wasn’t really a good candidate, but he was really the only reasonable choice — then they voted for the dangerous extremist anyway. They said that Joe Biden was the practical choice; then we learned they were lying — they really just liked Joe Biden. The logical conclusion is that those voters are also dangerous extremists who are willing to sacrifice all human life in the future for their comfort today. They’re like that asshole trying to make a left turn from the far right lane, except instead of risking a traffic collision, they’re gambling with literally all human life.
Biden’s popularity has dropped like a rock, but for all the wrong reasons. When the Biden administration re-opened oil and gas drilling leases because climate change “does not present sufficient cause” to reduce or eliminate fossil fuel production, it really didn’t affect his popularity. What’s really killing Joe’s popularity is the ongoing problems with international trade due to COVID-19. It isn’t that people are starving — no, the problem is that we just aren’t getting enough fun stuff shipped into the country to keep everyone entertained.
To be clear: We have enough food, but some flavors of Oreos are not currently available. We still have 1.8 cars per household in the US, but it is really hard to get a new one; you have to wait! You can’t get a 4000-core gaming video card at all these days! There’s a good chance you won’t be able to get your hands on a turkey for the holidays!
Oh, the outrage!

Speaking of holidays — Christmas might be ruined, I hear. Now, stop me if I’m wrong, but my recollection was that Christmas had something to do with the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Wasn’t that it? So why is it that we’re concerned that it might not be an orgy of consumerism this year? Was Jesus big into orgies of consumerism? I’m thumbing through my Bible right now. I’m not finding anything about that, but it is a pretty big book so maybe I’m just missing it.
Let’s talk about electric cars. Great idea, right? Well, yes, but again, the dangerous extremists are using the greener option of electric cars to continue growth of the automobile market. Most electricity is still generated with fossil fuels (60%; nuclear is an additional 20%) and renewables do produce some CO2 (during manufacturing), so even if most vehicles were electric (we are at less than 2% in the US), more cars would still mean more fossil fuel emissions. We have to get to negative net emissions by 2030, 
yet bad decisions like this continue to increase our overall production of CO2. The sane choice would be to replace existing vehicles with greener alternatives while simultaneously reducing the total number of vehicles on the roads.
Yes, that would be quite inconvenient. The cult of neoliberalism will not allow for any inconvenience, or any reduction in consumption. If these dangerous extremists have to choose between convenient consumption and death of the human species — well, get ready to die. Convenient consumption is a big part of the single most important political issue for most Americans: Not having unpleasant thoughts. It is why they chose Joe Biden and why the Democrats are going to lose relative to the Republicans in the next election.
