    I find it really baffling that climate change denial is so strong in America given the ectreme effects the country is already seeing.

      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.

    They’ve saved us! Just like when they fixed COVID by telling people to stop testing and then sent our tests over to Putin

    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!!!

    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 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?

    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.

    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.

        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.

            Nah I don’t think it’s right to let you pretend to be against climate change when you’ve done the exact opposite with your life.
