In addition to “climate change” and “green,” EERE forbid officials from using “emissions” to avoid the implication that they are a negative. Climate change is caused by rising greenhouse gas emissions, which is driven primarily by burning oil, coal and natural gas for energy.
Other terms officials must ditch include “energy transition,” “sustainability/sustainable,” “‘clean’ or ‘dirty’ energy,” “Carbon/CO2 ‘Footprint’” and “Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.”
Yeah, shit deal. Do you think it will be better if there will be a fucking war? Not “Good guys killed all the bad guys and there is a socialist utopia going on” war, those don’t exist, more like “there is a tank where my living room used to be and all my family died in the last shootout” kind of war.
I lost my country long ago, we had our authoritarian resurgence a decade and a half ago, everyone was too apathetic to do anything, and those who tried got mocked by the likes of you, with their “ah, what are you gonna do, waste time arguing with people?”. America is going the same route very quickly to the same tune.
If you want a broad answer to “what should I do”, well, you aren’t american, so nothing, focus on your country. Americans should do anything. It usually starts with building the community and identifying clear local goals, because you’re correct that one person can do shit, a group of people with a political position however can do something.
