Whether or not this legislative bloatware passes will have negligible impact on the climate change you'll experience in your lifetime, and unless you're a polar bear, climate change is not an apocalypse, existential threat, or anything like it.

The next decade of climate change is locked in independent of the most radical policy choices, and this is why I believe the climate apocalypse framing will bring us nothing but backlash and failure. If some legislation is do-or-die, what are we supposed to do if it doesn't pass?

Does the U.S. government spending money to artificially prop up coal and gas contribute to or detract from “planet-wide optimism”? Why does the fact that climate is a collective action problem exempt an individual actor from responsibility?

I'm not defending the current policy, or attacking the modest changes in the reconciliation bill, but calling the apocalyptic rhetoric around it in the quoted tweet silly and misleading.

The fact that even modest incentives for decarbonizing the electric grid face so much resistance in passing doesn't really fill me with optimism.
