I find it really baffling that climate change denial is so strong in America given the ectreme effects the country is already seeing.
- Actually those hurricanes are caused by gay sex and women having abortions. /s
- Unfortunately, Republicans have spent decades systematically destroying public education in this country, and this is the end result. When Trump said "I love the poorly educated" back in 2016 he wasn't really saying anything new or breaking from the mainstream GOP stance... He was just honest about it, unlike the rest of the GOP who have always described their supporters with cynical euphemisms like "salt of the earth" and "regular folk" when they really mean ignorant rubes.
  
  the common clay of the new west.
  
  Maybe more like "salting the earth"
- Because that's work of Soros, chemtrails and HAARP /s
  
  I'm suspicious that 5G and space lasers has something to do with it as well....🤔
- Lol
- We towed America outside the climate.
There's no climate crisis, but guys, there are evil Democrat controlled weather machines that generate hurricanes and droughts! Coal power plants, mines, oil refineries, old landfills, all emit radio waves and lasers to communicate on the GHG network with satellites that generate the weather!!!!
Don't look up
- I just saw this movie a day or 2 after the election. I felt it would have been funnier had the outcome been different, but now it feels less like satire.
Even the oil companies admit the climate is changing, they just refuse to take responsibility. These clowns are in straight up denial mode. Just pretend the hurricanes aren't there and disregard your thermometers. It will all be fine. Oops, ignore that forest fire... it's, uh, just an illusion.
I hope his home gets destroyed by a climate-induced natural disaster.
- is it a natural disaster when members of one of the endangered species destroys it?
  
  "Here we can see a mob of angry homo sapiens, recently displaced by a flood, attacking another member of their species they deemed responsible for it. You can see the difference in status by the angry mob mostly using improvised weaponry but even some better armed individuals joined this attack, showing, that in these trying times, empathy is still strong in a lot of members of this species" - David Attenborough, hopefully 2025
Phew! Well, that's a relief!
I was getting worried for a while....
Phew, I'm glad that's settled then.
- I was getting worried there for a second!
Have fun selling Florida to Aquaman.
🙄🤦‍♂️
- Facts don’t care about your opinions. When Florida ends up underwater., when the dustbowl gets worse and people start baking, you can try to blame everything else but the fact will still remain.
  
  The people in charge don't care about long term solutions, they want short term profits by continuing to rape the planet. They figure they would be dead before climate change actually happens or they make money from it.
  
  Im not giving an opinion, nor am I disputing the science . I'm facepalming that this level of stupidity is a reality.
I had someone tell me the other day that the whole worlds gonna get cancer and end because 5g network towers have to be 400 yards apart and within 10 years everyone's gonna have cancer and die ending the world. I was like while I don't think radio waves are good for us, I had to ask.. What pipe are you smoking off of?
- Remember when everyone that got the COVID shot would be dead in 2 years.
  These are Christian nationalists, they love death cults.
- while I don't think radio waves are good for us
  Can you elaborate?
  
  AM radio waves transmit some pretty racist and hateful shit…
Not much of a downgrade from the Biden admin acknowledging the climate crisis, and then not doing a thing about it. Still refusing to abandon fracking, setting fossil fuel extraction records, and trying to ban Chinese solar panel & EV imports.
Let’s aim for the next Dem to do more than just acknowledge it.
- Your comment history is exactly what I expected it to be. Shoo.
  
  Lying about your side didn't help you win the election and now you're just doing it out of force of habit.
  You're worse than the trumpers because they aren't trying to mislead people who care into opposing their own values.
we are fucked :)
Give him a few months and there won't be a climate crisis at his house because he won't have a house. Just ashes. Wishful thinking, but you never know.
