If you've been noticing an uptick in laws proposed and often passed, that are criminalizing nearly all forms of protest, it's because the oil companies are paying politicians to make the peaceful fight against climate change impossible.

This is probably the primary reason why I don't believe that our government in it's current form can save anything (regardless of political party). Not climate, not the economy, not the wealth disparity, not health care.

They are only concerned with making themselves richer.

tadbithuman,

@vaskaraeca what could the consequences of making peaceful change impossible be?

@tadbithuman I'm sure the energy companies would like us to all drown/burn to death quietly but if people find out they face the same jail time for protesting a pipeline as, say, blowing up a pipeline, things may not turn out as they hoped.
