Blah, blah, blah,…give Biden a check and you can do what you want. And even if the do act it out, it should not mean they can’t stand trial for deforestation to date:

“Those claiming that science is just another form of religion or extremism do not understand the basic premise of scientific method
Distinguishing healthy skepticism from denialism is very important – denialism means rejecting all empirical evidence, while skepticism welcomes and indeed requires all empirical evidence and available data. Whilst science is empirical and welcomes change and systemic learning, denialism can be related absolutist views.
Science is therefore essentially the opposite of “believing in an absolute authority”, as claimed incorrectly by so many who either misunderstand the above, or by those wishing to deliberately case doubt on science as a means of strengthening their arguments.”

“’ECONOMIC FREEDOM’ RANKINGS ARE CONTRIVED, MEANINGLESS NONSENSE”
Romeu Peitinho:
“The self-regenerating cyclical free market spin.
“There’s just one problem with all of this. The premise is nonsense. Even a quick glance at the Fraser Institute’s report reveals that the numbers that emerge from their methodology are flatly irrelevant to anything in dispute between social democrats, socialists, and defenders of laissez-faire capitalism.
First, though, it’s worth pausing to talk about definitions. Many socialists think that a fully socialist society would be one where workers controlled the means of production. Since there’s never been a society where even a significant portion of the economy was put under workers’ control, the degree to which a society is socialist in this sense is hard to measure. Other socialists, though, have thought that state ownership of the bulk of the economy would be sufficient. That can be measured. There have been societies like the USSR where pretty much the entire economy was state-owned, countries like the United States with little state ownership, and countries like Norway (where almost a third of the workforce works in the public sector and the state holds shares in many companies) that are somewhere in between.”
“Conservatives and libertarians love to cite studies ranking different countries’ levels of “economic freedom” as evidence for the glories of capitalism. There’s just one problem: the rankings are nonsense.”

“A rigged economy is when an 18-year-old student can get a $100k unsecured student loan at 6% - but not a $100k secured home loan at 3%. When billionaires get a $2T tax cut – but working people get $7.25/hr. These rigged rules restrict economic mobility & promote economic servitude.”

Noam Chomsky:
“If capital is privately controlled, then people are going to have to sell themselves in order to survive.
Now, you can say, “they rent themselves freely, it’s a free contract” – but that’s a joke.”
[by the rich controlling government policy, the rich impose the following choice on people]
“If your choice is, “do what I tell you or starve,” that’s not a choice – it’s in fact what was commonly referred to as “wage slavery” in more civilized times, like the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.”

“Permafrost melt from global warming is set to activate pathogens not seen before.”
“Russian scientists defrosted several prehistoric worms, which were frozen in Arctic permafrost for around 40,000 years, and two of them woke up. After thawing, the two worms began moving and eating. One is estimated to be about 32,000 years old, while the other is around 41,700 years old.”

In their pursuit for ever more$, they will render civilization incapable of producing anything at all. Greed is blind addiction.
