What kbal said, but also, let’s be real here: nobody who’s not taking the climate emergency seriously is a “true statesman”. It’s just plain unserious and irresponsible, like calling a junkie who says “oh I’ll just have one shot of heroin this Friday and I’m going to check myself into rehab Monday” committed to getting clean. That’s not statesmanship, it’s just profound luck of seriousness in the face of overwhelming evidence. Any politician who’s not “a climate guy” is by definition a clown.
Exactly! The climate is a major issue facing the entire planet, even the fucking US army considers it a threat, so to act like it’s not important is immediate disqualification from being able to say you care about the country.
Besides, it’s not like he’s actually done anything else statesmanlike, either.
