Here in Britain, we have pledged to attempt to become carbon neutral by 2050. We are actively trying to ban most single use plastics. We are trying to replace all new cars with electric by 2030. Our greenhouse gas emissions are at their lowest since the 1890s. Meanwhile in the US...

Yeah, Democrats did this in Texas back in 2003. It's rare, but hardly unheard of, and with 50 state legislatures it pops up every decade or so.
The good news (for you) is that whenever a political party does this, it's because they know they've already lost and they're just throwing a temper tantrum. It never actually succeeds in blocking anything, it just delays it for a bit and gives their base something to rally behind.

I fail to see why the left could not be KOD from national politics for a decade or longer in Britain before 2050.clearspira wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 10:30 pm Here in Britain, we have pledged to attempt to become carbon neutral by 2050.

I'm fairly certain you've tried this one on me before, and I pointed to you then as well as now that falling ten rungs down a ladder you are at the top of is very easy indeed. Meanwhile the rest of us are looking up and wondering when your wheezing ass is finally going to make it down as far as us.
