Banks collapsing, toxins spewing, agriculture failing how about a big round of applause for Americans career politicians:
“Argentina’s grain harvest suffers under worst drought in 60 years
Already struggling under spiralling inflation, the South American country faces a decline in grain, its main export.”

First came the petition then came approval of the Willow arctic oil project. What are we supposed to do? Just wait to die? Starve? Drown? Killed by a storm? Fatally poisoned by air or water? Voting doesn’t help:
Willow project?!?!
“Tell President Biden, key environmental cabinet officials, and Congress to keep doing more to fight the climate crisis.”
“An alarming scientific report shows that climate change is only getting more severe, and more quickly than previously thought
The wildfires, megadroughts, flash floods, and extreme temperatures we’ve seen this past year have made it clearer than ever: we are not prepared for the worsening impacts of the climate crisis.
We need President Biden and Congress to do more to help us withstand the effects of climate change and accelerate a just transition to a 100% clean energy economy.
Add your name: Call on President Biden and Congress to prioritize our climate future in 2023 by slashing climate pollution, speeding up the transition to clean energy, and safeguarding our most vulnerable communities.”

Setting aside 30% of a dying Ocean will give you a dying piece of ocean that represents 30% of the whole:
“It is going to be difficult to stave off extinction of sea life with 30% set aside. Firstly, you have the part vs whole thing. If the whole is dying so is its parts. Then you have the fact that water circulates. Areas of hypoxia and hot masses of water will move around and effect the part you are trying to keep alive. Also, if crap like willow point and continued oil and gas nonsense continues to keep fossil fuels alive, you can kiss 100% of everything good by.
I guess the 30% things makes for a good sound bite for politicians.”
