[pp.int.general] Global heating: 2 degrees of heating is 16 years away

[Richard Stallman]

    but even if one wants to make a position on this topic, is there any 
    point for the pirate parties to express anything other than passive support?

I think there is, for these reasons:

* Civilization is heading for disaster.
We must try to prevent it.

* More support for saving the clinate means stronger policies will
be adopted.

* It is necessary to pressure the US and China, and that takes a
strong political base.

* It is necessary to educate the public, and you do that by speaking
actively about the issue.

* You want to compete with the Green Party for votes, so why leave
this issue to the Green Party in the public debate?
