“America Will be Remembered as the Country That Killed the Planet
Americans Don’t Know It, But America is the Reason We’re Boiling Alive on a Dying Planet”
"You might think — as so many white American bros are going to — that I exaggerate. So go ahead and take a hard look at the chart above. It’s time to get acquainted with a deeply uncomfortable fact, at least for Americans. America’s the nation which has emitted the most carbon, by a very, very long way. It is single-handedly responsible for bringing the planet to boiling point like no other country in human history."

Improvements and advancements in Nuclear power are bologna:
"With little hard evidence, many developers maintain they will be cheaper, safer and more secure than currently operating reactors; will burn uranium fuel more efficiently, produce less radioactive waste, and reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation; and could be commercialized relatively soon. Those claims, however, do not hold up to scrutiny."
