When it comes to climate policy, on which I'm essentially a single issue voter, what do you suggest our kids do at this point? They're the ones stuck with the consequences of our bad actions, and the consequences are pretty dire. Manchin is swimming in conflicts of interest on this, and yet he heads the Senate energy committee. I'm open to suggestions, because I agree, confronting Manchin as he disembarks from his yacht is not likely to be helpful. But what is there to do? Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is the truth: There isn't really anything that can be done. Your kids ARE going to be stuck with the consequences. There will be some performance art. resolutions. aspirational goals, lots of negotiations and non-binding declarations. Some programs around the edges that people skim money and tax breaks off of.
Unless there looks to be a major opportunity to make major money or until there is an actual meaningful impact of climate change on rich and powerful people (which is going to take a while), don't expect much.
