New York Times environmental journalist David Wallace-Wells returns to Bad Faith to discuss his latest article about the enormity of Biden's latest climate betrayal: an oil project in the arctic that severely undermines the much-touted gains of the Inflation Reduction Act. What does the left go next? Do they have even less leverage than they did in 2020, and would the presence of a real Democratic primary change that?

Great episode. I really like how you brought Chomsky in, and showing Biden is ending the world just as efficiently as Trump was. We really need your sanity, I appreciate it.

Sabotage is the only logical conclusion when the stakes of the crisis are realistically evaluated. Anyone who comes to a different conclusion knows they will be dead before seeing worse consequences or has ulterior motives. Thank you Brie.

Goddam, this is so depressing. So so so so depressing. Won’t give up and I still believe there are significant changes that are very near. But man, sometimes it just feels like dragging an abandoned oil rig across a dead beach.

Oh and the Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey needs to become our new Bible (at least in terms of direction)

1. Joe Biden is a known liar. It's funny when the press will praise him for saying something knowing full well he is lying. 2. Anyone notice how Biden seems to always have a woman (a lot of times of color) have to take the repercussions of his lies while at the same time covering for him? - Karine Jean-Pierre - Deb Haaland - Kamala Harris 3. Better start rewatching "Mad Max" films to prepare for the future. I just can't understand what these people think they can do with their money if the world burns. We only have this one planet, right? It's not like we are anywhere close to be able to terraform and live on another planet in the time scientists say we have left.

I am loving your side of the tail end of this conversation. Speaking my language 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you have good words for Biden in your mouth then you are no real climate activist.

Biden will not save us. No politician will. We must save our ourselves.

This fucking guy. Yes what we are doing has been pointless. You can’t fix this under capitalism.

We cannot "save ourself" from a policy position of the largest empire in the world. We're on the titanic with no life boats and it's going down because the captain has steered it into an iceburg.

Can we get Chomsky back on to discuss?

It would be good to get Nick Estes on again.

Hi Dwayne, Andrew Wilson in FL Your 3rd category I will give 2 responses on: 1) A lot of these folks understand the difference between money on one hand and wealth-and-power on the other. Those people hold built networks and physical resources on which they believe they can rely. A lot of these people do not look beyond their own life spans. 2) Then their are the Bunker-builders with their well-stocked mountain aeries who view their monetary wealth as secure. Clearly, their idea of the day after tomorrow relies on a lot of continuity. Neither of these groups as described is making any impactful decisions, but a lot of folks who think about this stuff assume the two described groups are all there is. The actual descision-makers are going about their daily lives unruffled. The policy they follow IS, positively, workable. But it's more horrible than most can imagine. When human population is cut precipitously by about 40%, CO2 production crashes and the climate system starts to move back to a more stable cycle. Problem solved. Most of us just can't wrap our minds around that kind of evil. H. A. Nice Day

I always thought that it would take some sort of great threat (like alien invasion or something) that could destroy humanity for people to come together, triumph, and work to build a better world. Then COVID hit, millions died, and we are back to the same shit except drug companies want to drive up prices for the vaccine. 🤷🏾‍♂️
