As another massive hurricane bears down on Florida, let’s remember that our climate is worsening for entirely preventable reasons and the scale of these disasters is not “natural.”

Calling them “the political class” instead of “the rich” seems like you’re trying to sow seeds of distrust for the government and politicians. But it’s in our power or have effective representative government that provides services and protection for all citizens. We need to stop the exploitation by the rich.

We keep setting record breaking fossil fuel production records and neither candidate wants to ban fracking...

Even tho the battleground states they're supposedly doing anything to win over like Pennsylvania has the majority of voters in support of banning it.

There's two much money from fossil fuel corporations flowing to both parties for either to actually do anything

I was gonna get furious at the political class for enabling this climate catastrophe but I got high.

Probably a good thing to get high with the water levels rising and the storm surges from the hurricane. Being low is kinda dangerous.
