Fuck, they're rolling back the restrictions on carbon emissions that the Obama administration passed. Why. Why is caring about the continued habitability of this planet we're all stuck on a political issue now?

why is politics just a mess of greedy idiots who don't care about anyone but themselves and can't make rational decisions taking into account long-term consequences?

@Felthry Likely because the ones that will pursue political positions are the ones that believe they can hold the responsibility of such a position. The ones that are kind will view it as a large responsibility, and hesitate to take it. Conversely those that are greedy probably don't view it as a responsibility at all, just a means of getting power for themselves.
