When I see people defending Biden with "He's a brilliant President", I think of asking whether someone with a likely terminal cancer diagnosis, who decides that "quitting smoking" is "good enough", and refuses to undergo any other treatment, because it might not look good, or upset someone, is taking a "brilliant" path to recovery.
Biden has done, or overseen, SOME actions (even "a record amount"....but is it ENOUGH because it surpasses the U.S. PRIOR investment in Climate mitigation? NO. And it's really NOT EVEN CLOSE.
We can't simply accept that this is "the best we can do", when it's clearly NOT ENOUGH. That kind of thinking is a massive denial that will *keep us* speeding ahead to ecological ruin. It's NOT NEARLY "enough" to merely SLOW DOWN, or make a pit stop. If we keep heading in this direction, we are IGNORING the doctors telling us that we cannot survive without certain steps. But that's what we CONTINUE to do.
And how it it that to point out that what we're doing is NOT NEARLY enough considered to be critical of those few efforts. IMPORTANT and needed efforts, ABSOLUTELY. But still FAR SHORT of all that it's going to take. Why is this difficult to understand?
