Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

I'm curious, how old were you in 2000?
Nader, the spoiler candidate that gave us GW Bush instead of Al Gore, the climate guy? If you're in FL you should be profoundly embarrassed, and if you're in a different state just regular embarrassed.
When I think of a "do nothing party", the Greens are at the top of the list. They quite literally do nothing and have no power, except to spoil tight races in the direction of conservatism/fascism. I guess if that's you're goal, you're happy.
The Cheney cohort supports Harris not because she is a conservative warmonger, they support her because she'll broadly maintain US legal and political structures, which as they've stated, they feel are more important than specific policy. I.e., she will preserve the state of the Republic and not do the fascism thing. They're endorsement says a lot more about Trump than it does about Harris, which you probably know but are being purposely disingenuous about.
Good luck with your third parties in a system that mathematically will never support a third party though, real big brain stuff. You're literally playing a different game than everyone else.
To be clear, I'm not trying to convince you of anything, this is for anyone else that may happen upon this thread that might be smart enough to connect the dots about an alternate reality where Gore won the election with respect to climate change.
It's like you're willfully ignoring all context, wild.
"I helped put W and Cheney into power, now even those ghouls think Harris is better than Trump, so I guess I'll help out Trump in power" --> you.
Show us where the Cheneys registered as Democratics and abandoned the Republican party. Voting for someone from another party doesn't make you a member.
They outlined their reasoning, you continue to ignore it and make up a weird story about the democrats fully aligning all of their policy stances to those of the Cheneys. In reality, they just hate Trump and recognize the unique danger he poses. It's not complicated.
Once again you're willfully ignoring all context.
