Her comments came as the East and West Midlands became the latest areas of England to fall into drought as the country struggles with the driest start to the year since 1976

    She argued that net zero is harming industry, adding: “It’s a money making racket where certain businesses and individuals are making money out of it.”

    Then invest there instead of oil, you dumb…

      Can you narrow that down a bit before we book the ticket?

          Maybe, but even that needs narrowing down. An American friend of mine says that the two coasts are relatively sensible and everyone in the states inbetween are utter fruitcakes.

            Has your friend heard of Florida? And some of the northern states in-between are relatively sensible too - Minnesota for example.

              I think they’re in denial about Florida.

                Denial is the standard state of mind for Florida.

            Well, I can understand the feeling, but it’s not true. Many of the states in between have a better ratio of relatively sensible people to fruitcakes than it looks like, but the fruitcakes have gerrymandered voting districts pretty severely. Which is a self reinforcing issue.

      oh no, the horrific violence 😢😢😢😢

      Hey shithead mods, politicians allowing unchecked capitalism to destroy the climate and reduce our planet to an inhospitable cinder while insisting it’s not happening are not just advocating, but actively facilitating violence on a genocidal scale

      Removing “advocacy for violence” against these people is you taking a stand, siding with them as they do this

      In which case I hope the guillotine comes for you too, you fucking comprador nerds.
