In 2020, Here's How You Can Help Address the Climate Crisis (only 11.13 years left)

Bill McKibben, founder 350.org and author

“I think that some of the tasks for the year are, for obvious reasons, political, and that others involve taking on the financial industry that bankrolls gas, oil and coal. I seem to be concentrating on the latter tasks for the moment.”

Margaret Klein Salamon, founder of the Climate Mobilization

“Break the silence: Start talking about the climate emergency and the need for WWII scale climate mobilization - in a realistic, blunt, emergency-focused way, in your family, social circles, and beyond.

“Join the Climate Emergency Movement. There are a lot of organizations that have burst forth this year that are championing a climate emergency message and solution - Sunrise, Extinction Rebellion, Youth Climate Strikes, The Climate Mobilization, and more. Join us, support us, help us build power!”

**SNIP**

Sydney Ghazarian, steering committee member for the National DSA Ecosocialist Working Group

“In order to ‘help’ we must address the actual problem, which is a growth-dependent, fossil-fueled economic system that has stratified power in favor of an elite few who put profit above people and the planet. The way ordinary people can and have overcome the injustice of our economic system and the 1% is through the Labor Movement and our power as workers to strike and halt the economy in its tracks. So, my unconventional answer is that you can help by organizing your workplace to address the Climate Emergency through ‘green’ collective bargaining agreements, advocating for a Green New Deal, endorsing ‘climate’ candidates, and building community alliances through strikes for the planetary good.

“The fight for our future must be an all-hands-on-deck effort, and another way you can help is by utilizing your social networks to bring more people into the climate movement. Organize your sports team, church, university, professional association, etc. to leverage its power to fight for climate action and a Green New Deal.”

Shutting down capitalism is a tough sell. I'm still waiting for these eco-goofballs to insist mansion owners evacuate so that the land can be used for growing food. Hussein, Effin' Kerry, Fauxcahontas, the *Crintons, Gropin' Joe and the Bernster will not be pleased.

“Break the silence:...

OK, here goes...STHU you stupid broad. (New Years resolution is to clean up the talk on FR) :)

And I see how they use that word “church” again when they need it.

They use Christ and Church in the most unusual and unfitting ways.

But I guess if I tried hard enough I could find a way to use Stalin to promote conservatism.

And when I laugh at your idiocy when babbling about this, please try not be overly offended.

The world ended on Dec 21, 2012 (per the Mayan calendar). We live in a reboot.

Some people actually believe this. Some people we believe anything.

Heard of Chernobyl? Been watching that mini series and I’m guessing these loons would have flipped out. Or committed suicide if they had been living 34 years ago in Eastern Europe.

When Obama gives up his energy hungry summer home, I will consider that the elites actually believe in man made climate change. Until then I will give up nothing myself. There are absolutely no signs that our elite leadership takes it seriously.

We are building an ark for the flooding.
We have just enough time to complete it.

I love that movie :)

The father curses like it’s an official language and Schwartz gets the blame!

Then the mother beats the #### out of him. You can hear it through the phone.

Funny movie :)

ROFL!!!

Even the other mother knew it was his father at first.

She still beat the hell out of her own kid :)

That’s pretty much how kid justice worked back then :)

But then later when Ralphie is beating up Scut, he’s cussing up a storm and his mom obviously heard him, but that time she was much more sympathetic.

I love the scene where Ralphie’s brother is hiding under the sink, and the mother asks him why, and he says, “Dad is going to kill Ralphie!”, and the mother just closes the sink door and leaves him alone.

Yeah and he cursed so much more in that scene but I guess she knew the reason for it...the bullies.

i remember one night thinking my father was gonna kill my older brother.

My brother was really getting wise with my pop and my mother was practically on top of my father to keep my brother alive :)

This movie is more in line with the America even up to the 80s that existed.

I think that’s why it’s loved so much.
