president biden has refused to raise taxes on fossil fuels. on top of that, now he's going to temporarily bring down gasoline prices by flooding the market with oil reserves. if i heard correctly, this action is in conjunction with some other nations, including china, whose leaders are concerned about the political implications of higher fuel prices and sluggish economies.
this demonstrates for the umpteenth time that world leaders only pay lip service to addressing the root cause of catastrophic climate change: fossil fuel consumption and it's attendant economic development, including deforestation and industrial agriculture. and that's in the case when they even acknowledge the existence of the problem, as 1/2 of america's corporate political establishment is loathe to do.whatever happened to the concept of peak oil and peak everything? a couple of decades ago it seems like the problem of our grossly unsustainable consumption culture was talked about more than it is currently. is this progress?! do sheeple in general or world leaders in particular believe that by ignoring them, these problems will simply disappear? it seems so.i think our species has feces for brains. we're just pathetic! and doomed. dystopian and doomed.
