Project 2025 video says a conservative US administration should ‘eradicate’ climate change references
Of course it does.
The broad point of Project 2025 is to eliminate anything and everything that provides any measurable benefit to the common people and/or in any way impedes the wealthy and the corporations doing absolutely whatever they want to do, no matter how much harm it might cause to people. That's the exact reason that so much of it focuses on eliminating or at least neutering government agencies - the goal is to make it so that corporations and the wealthy few face no constraints and no consequences - so that they have free rein to rob and pillage and rape and destroy.
And it's not only the playbook Trimp will follow, but the reason that billionaires like Musk and Thiel are backing Trump. They aren't really backing Trump per se - they're backing Project 2025.
Also notice the language. climate change is "alarmist" and a "hoax". When you look at countries like Russia you can see that this kind of language can be easily turned into climate activist becoming "foreign agents" hurtung the US with "false news" and "missinformation". Hence they clearly have to be arrested. Obviously this is down the line, but it is not hard to find right wing comments about killing, arresting and otherwise removing leftist.
We already see that being talked about with "anti white racism" and the FBI supposed to be used to counter that, after the FBI would be palced directly under Trump, who is above the law as president. You get the picture.
those goals aren’t anything new from P25, conservatives have been doing that forever. What P25 is doing is laying out a specific plan to purge career govt staffers who have been somewhat protected from partisanship to this point.
I was just wondering “why ignore climate change and censor any references to it? What’s the point?” You’ve answered that question quite nicely.

Well yea they are the party that doesn’t live in reality.
And when we do destroy the planet, all of the rich donors are going to have those lovely little bunkers to fall back on while the rest of us are fucked
Bunkers aren't gonna do shit if climate change really kicks off. None of those assholes can grow their own food or anything else they would need to do to survive longer than your average prepper. They'll make nice targets for desperate people to spend a lot of resources trying to open though.
I know it feels good to think this way but you are wrong.
Salt mines are being bought up and turned into self contained estates capable of self-sustained agriculture and power generation. Not for the general public, but by billionaires terrified of what's to come.
And they're not like you are imagining, cute little bunker homes like those repurposed missile silos.
Nope, they're mini cities, capable of maintaining the families, servants, and guards of the ultra rich for hundreds of years without outside support.
They are already being built, and more we don't know about.
When you have enough money, you can prepare for anything, and the only survivors of the coming economic collapse will be the people inside those bunkers.
This is why Larry Ellison bought almost the entirety of Lānaʻi (and Zuckerberg bought some of the remainder). Not only does it have an eight-mile moat between it and the rest of Hawai‘i, it's also got great climate and fertile volcanic soil. In fact, it was formerly the world's largest pineapple plantation.
yes. but capitalism's main skills are myopia and delusion, and being a billionaire in particular poisons your brain, ruins your perception of scale consequence and responsibility just as it bloats your self opinion.

I don't think it's about this specific use case. It's about the fact that the minority of ultra wealthy will always have the means and resources to escape the plight of the common folk. Plus any consequences are unlikely to be realized in their own lifetimes, only their kids or grandkids might really be affected.
Even if they are affected they can buy their space station or remote luxury village with
slavepaid labor. There's not enough resources for everyone to be taken care of, but you can bet your ass they and their families will be taken care of first.its not just for their donors.
the suffering is the point, and many of them are literally lovecraftian apocalypse cultists. as bad as jewish zionists may be ('we will riot for the right to rape!') christian zionists (doctrinal religiously zionist, not, like, faschy genocidal racist catholics railing against the woke pope, not that those adjectives look great on anybody) are just straight up horror villains.
Neither party lives in reality. Neither party actually believes in climate change. The Republicans outright deny it and the Democrats do nothing about it. It's not enough to say you believe in climate change, you have to demonstrate that you believe in climate change by behaving as though it is real.
We've got two cars racing toward a cliff. One has the gas pedal weighed down with a cinder block and the driver insists there's no cliff. The driver of the other car says "what an idiot!" as he very intelligently, moderately, and progressively presses his gas pedal halfway down
Neither driver will acknowledge their passengers' pleas to hit the brakes
remember half the passengers in your metaphorical car are also screaming to hit the gas harder.
Your ire is misdirected at democrats when you should be talking about the propaganda machine from fossil fuel companies and Fox News brainwashing people into making it a culture war. Democrats do what they can, the problem is they can do very little when most people really don't give a shit (or worse).
Neither party lives in reality.
They know exactly what they are doing. They are saying one thing publicly, but the nitty gritty is that they are enabling the ability to manipulate wealth using the power to choose the winners and the insider knowledge that enables enormous wealth generation. There is a reason why few politicians are poor even if they entered office penniless, and it isn't book deals or speeches.
Politicians are not idiots (usually.) Even the ones who are batshit crazy in the news have another personality that isn't the mass media one. We know next to nothing about public figures and celebrities actual real beliefs or day to day behaviors, we only know the idolized media coverage which is itself tailored to generate more revenue, not deliver facts or do the right thing for humanity.
Nobody should be surprised by that stance. Nobody, at all.
Trump put a literal Coal Lobbyist in charge of the Environmentla Protection Agency while he was in office.
You would be a disingenuous asshole to say Trump is good for the environment.
Already done in Florida.
Why are these weirdos so against climate change? Oh yeah, stock tick go up one unit.
Little donie's discount stolen documents...
We're GENOCIDING our prices!!!
