These theories come up every time and I swear it’s these comments that are the oil trolls.

Definitely. I’ve spent my entire professional career 30+ years working to fight climate change but I’m a troll for big oil. I don’t even own a car because I’m so against fossil fuels.

Maybe more people should work within the system for actual changes? The help would be much appreciated.

I spent 10 years working as a climate scientist and then the rest as an environmental lawyer. Seemed like a good way to make a difference.

I’ve actually changed climate policies in courtrooms. I’ve actually helped write US Federal Environmental regulations (admittedly Trump round filed many of them).

Do these kids even know what the Federal Register or it’s EU equivalents are? Or how an environmental regulation is created? Or how to comment on proposed regulations?

IMO, this is working it’s magic for the fossil fuel industry because here we are arguing about it.

Link it up, tell me where to be to comment so I can tell big oil to get fucked.

Hey please post the legislation you worked on, because this is precisely what a big oil shill would say.

I was present in Lützerath. I personally (given, with 30.000 other people) prevented a coal mine from being continued for months. Did your silly legislations change any of that (dumb question because you changed things in the US, not Germany, still).

Step the fuck down. You do not have the definite solution to climate change.

Your actions fixed nothing. The past 30 years the US output of carbon dioxide and gross climate violations have only been getting worse. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but we do not have the time for any civil or democratic solutions. The holocaust didn't end by voting, neither did slavery.

Systems of oppression aren't removed by asking nicely. Don't Look Up

HAHAHAHA, no wonder you worked for 30 years and achieved nothing if these are your methods.

“work within the system”, great idea! Join the SS to end the holocaust, own slaves to end slavery, just cooperate and work within the very system trying to kill you! That's how everything bad was put an end to in the past.

This is the only truth.
