We lost the election, but Biden was pretty demonstrably a lot better.

I wouldn’t say that the movement towards state action weakened under Biden; we got some great examples of it, such as the requirement for renewables in Minnesota.

Sorry, but accelerationism only gets us a lasting fascism. It doesn’t get us the kid of stable world where people can substitute wind and solar for fossil fuels

Probably six months before we see big auctions again.

This is generally not a great way to do it, since the emissions largely coming from fossil fuel burning. Fewer people doesn’t help much if we burn even more.

May? That’s exactly what he did in the past

There are a ton of things we should be doing to push Democrats. But not today — to even have a chance of any kind of activism to work, we need to elect them first.

US emissions peaked back in 2007

This leads me to believe that you’re making an appeal to ignorance.

Newspapers in general have been having a tough time, but the NYT is fantastically profitable. They’re basically a games, review, and recipe company with a side of news.

The Democrats have actually passed major new policies, with Harris casting the tiebreaking vote for the Inflation Reduction Act:

It’s not yet enough, but they’ve made over a hundred policy changes in addition

By contrast, the Trump administration went out of their way to roll back as many environmental protections as possible.

Given that choice, it’s worth looking at how Stein can operate as a spoiler:

Scenario 1:

Harris: 1001 votes

Trump: 1000 votes

Stein: 0 votes

Harris wins

Scenario 2:

Harris: 1000 votes

Trump: 1000 votes

Stein: 1 vote

Tied vote, which goes to the courts and Congress, putting Trump in power

Scenario 3:

Harris: 999 votes

Trump: 1000 votes

Stein: 2 votes

Trump wins outright

This spoiler effect makes it really imperative to actively vote for Harris if you want to see any kind of climate action going forward. Republicans know this, which is why they’re the ones funding the Green Party.

It’s bad enough that the European green parties have asked her to step down.

The reality is that the Democrats are investing huge amounts in green energy

The Biden administration initially expected the law to provide some $370 billion in spending and tax credits for clean energy projects, but other groups expect the figure to be far higher as more companies and households take advantage of the law’s tax credits. The Brookings Institution estimated the I.R.A. could be worth $780 billion through 2031, while Goldman Sachs set a potential total cost of $1.2 trillion.

They’re asking that people stay off NYT games and cooking-related pages:

NYT Games and Cooking are BEHIND THE PICKET LINE. Please don’t play or engage with Games or Cooking content while the strike lasts!

News coverage — including election coverage — is NOT behind the picket line. It’s okay to read and share that, though the site and app may very well have problems.

Thanks for pointing that out; I clearly made a cut-and-paste error. Fixed now.

It can certainly happen when things are close, as they are now. Even if all you do is change it from “close” to “not close” the impact is to keep it out of the courts.

In the US, right now, who holds power is still decided by who gets the most votes in elections. Even non-swing-states have congressional races, races for state legislature, and elections for local government.

If you’re in a spot where you think your local vote won’t be close, you can volunteer to turn others out to vote

You’re seriously underestimating the kinds of things that academia generates

Edit: and yes, the whole thing is meant as a joke. If you’re actually using sabotage to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, turning around and selling social permission to pollute is just plain silly.
