How can people use language like "climate betrayal" and act like it's not a religion?
What is the advantage of using that kind of terminology to discuss it? It makes it easy for people to dismiss any actual valid points that either the specific criticism has, or the entire movement to address climate change. The only purpose it serves is to whip up an already hysterical base, at the expense of credibility.
Yes, I think "Administration breaks election promise on oil project" or anything along those lines is factual (or at least verifiable) without being sensational
As soon as gas prices rose last year, even hardline environmental groups like the Sunrise Movement suddenly became consumer advocates. And now you have prominent individuals like Greta Thunberg actively protesting against green energy projects.
These groups are not actually serious about the causes they promote. So the administration is clearly going to pursue objectives that cause people who actually vote to be happy.
