I don't think defending Ukraine's democracy from an obvious authoritarian invader is silly. It wouldn't be silly if it was your house being blown up for no good reason or your kids/wife getting kidnaped/raped/tortured/killed. What's the point in climate action if not to save human life? You just worried about the fish?

Climate change sucks, but if we give up all our morality just to fight climate change than why bother? You want to let all the rapist and murders free because that distract from climate action also?

If humans can't multi-task then it's just time for us to go. If we can't have reasonable law and order and basic morality AND fight climate change, just smoke em while you got em because the species isn't worth saving.

TBF he might the war is unnecessary and he might have been saying that about Russia.

I agree though, defending Ukraine is the right thing to do.

Anyone who claims to be "anti-war" but isn't also explicitly anti-Russia is questionable. You cannot be anti-war without also being anti-Russia.

Serious question. Is the war forcing European dependence on coal and oil from Russia and hastening their pace towards green energies?

The war destabilizing global energy supply is going to push a lot of countries away from green energy.

Most green energy requires cooperation between nations at multiple points during production. It's an order of magnitude easier to burn coal.
