I dislike the framing "we're in a climate emergency" because there is nothing meaningful people can do about it, either in the short or medium term. It's the equivalent of a blaring car alarm—people will tune it out. It creates anxiety with no outlet, not a winning political call

and who did that? "the left", whomever you're imagining as that, or has that been driven by Fox news and other bad actors?

Framing a "social justice agenda" (whatever that means to you) as a presumably meaningless "culture war" is certainly a choice. You're also ignoring that Rs will turn absolutely *anything* into a culture war.

Again, I think this take would benefit from having a longer time horizon then the past five years. Republicans were hostile to climate action 20 years ago, when the parties were *less* regionally distinct and there was a *larger* faction of Republican moderates.

Let’s say climate action was not tied to the “culture war” (which, imo, is a dismissive way of describing the policies that attempt to link climate action to real conditions faced by specific marginal communities), what makes you think that today’s GOP would be more receptive?
