    Bernie Sanders Wants to Defund U.S. Military: Spend $1.5 Trillion on Climate Change. “Instead of spending $1.5 trillion on weapons to kill one other, let us unite against the common enemy that is climate change,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on his twitter account.

      For the record, this title is misleading. He doesn’t want to cut the entire military budget. “I’m saying I doubt that I would get that budget,” he said instead, arguing that Congress would reflect his executive budget. “We will present a thoughtful budget that meets the defense needs of this country without just simply supplying billions of dollars of unnecessary money to the military industrial complex.”

      Another example of how quotes and news articles take things out of context, which Redditors are quick to point out! I thought the comments following were pretty thoughtful & somewhat hopeful too, which was nice!

    California just shy of 100% powered by renewables for first time

      I read the article and it was just for one day. On Saturday California had something like 98% of their energy demand being fulfilled by renewable sources, the previous record was about 97%. Only one moment, on one day, still a long way to go.

      Unsurprisingly, headlines are sometimes misleading. I wonder how much of these news articles sensationalize environmental news just to get clicks and if the data is accurately represented

      Robert Moses* would be rolling in his grave. Good. Fuck Robert Moses…. *If you don’t know who this shitbag is, he was NYC’s city planner back in the 1950’s, and made a hard push for automobiles over public transit. He loved cars so much he wanted a drive-through window at the Met…

      Robert Moses was a huge, controversial figure who did a lot of NYC and Long Island infrastructure development, and he heavily prioritized cars over public transit. I found it interesting that this thread goes deep into calling out past political figures who made a huge impact, as well as states/cities that are widely-mentioned by commenters (like NY, CA, Philadelphia, Boston)

      I was wondering why no news was reporting why he did it .

      This top post seems mostly to talk about how climate change issues are not even shown in mainstream news, but rather a generational/social issue based on the age & wealth divide
