Eric,
I am so glad you took this one on. Had I tackled it, I would have triggered every concern troll on the Internet… 😉

In times of increasing chaos, people seek protection in tribalism and armed force, rather than in the rule of law, and our best defense against this kind of dystopia is to maintain functioning democracies, functioning legal systems, functioning communities. In this respect, any movement toward a more just and civil society can now be considered a meaningful climate action. Securing fair elections is a climate action. Combatting extreme wealth inequality is a climate action. Shutting down the hate machines on social media is a climate action. Instituting humane immigration policy, advocating for racial and gender equality, promoting respect for laws and their enforcement, supporting a free and independent press, ridding the country of assault weapons—these are all meaningful climate actions.

My response to “Jonathan Earl Franzen, American novelist and essayist“…

“Securing fair elections is a climate action.”  The United States Constitution already did this 230 years ago.  It’s called the “Electoral College.”

“Combatting (sic) extreme wealth inequality is a climate action.” The award-winning “journalist” can’t even spell “combating.”  Combating extreme wealth inequality is Marxism.  Our Constitution actually prohibits this.

“Shutting down the hate machines on social media is a climate action.”  Would be Stalinism and violate the First Amendment of our Constitution.  It would be a grotesque assault on rule of law.

“Instituting humane immigration policy, advocating for racial and gender equality, promoting respect for laws and their enforcement, supporting a free and independent press, ridding the country of assault weapons—these are all meaningful climate actions.”  I think this just set a new world record for non sequitur fallacies in a single sentence.  No psychobabble phrase in his Marxist litany actually follows from the previous phrase.  One-by-one:

“Instituting humane immigration policy”…

The Congress shall have Power To…establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization….

ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 4

Congress did this.  President Trump is attempting to enforce the laws passed by Congress.

“advocating for racial and gender equality”

You are free to advocate for whatever you wish.  Just leave the rest of us the frack alone!

“promoting respect for laws and their enforcement”

Horst schist!  Almost every asinine thing you wrote craps all over respect for laws and their enforcement and our Constitution.

“supporting a free and independent press”

You mean supporting fellow Marxist press and silencing Breitbart, Fox News, The Daily Caller, etc… and probably WUWT too (what you refer to as “the hate machines on social media”).

“ridding the country of assault weapons”

Hey Ricardo Cabeza! An assault weapon is capable of selective fire.  They’ve been illegal for about 80 years.  Regarding “ridding” the country of firearms that scare you and your limp-wristed ilk…
