Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It’s so strange how all these completely random weather events keep happening and they keep increasing in frequency and intensity. Must be God trying to tell us something. Anybody else into tonic wine?
Bit idea: Convincing evangelicals that climate change has nothing to do with science and is actually God’s punishment for burning fossil fuels
The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind.
...that means it's our own personal playground that we can fuck up as much as we want without any care of consequence or moral judgement!
Ann Coulter argued exactly that on Fox News when she was raging at a "What Would Jesus Drive" movement during the pre-Te$la backlash against EVs. She even said the big hard-r SV word to describe what God supposedly wanted man to do with the Earth.
Not to make the hurricane in Florida about my comfortable dumbass up here in the northeast but holy shit I thought I was immunized to getting mad when it comes to climate change.
I've been into climate science and trying to fight climate change since I was like 10 and wanted there to continue to be winter where I live. Went to college for an engineering degree with a minor in sustainable energy systems that included lots of climate research and policy investigation.
I thought I had the callouses to deal with chuds saying climate change isn't real and all that bulshit.
But now, 20 years later when everything has been prepgressing exactly like every climate scientist has said it would, we've totally skipped the "doing anything about it" phase and have moved to the blame game.
Watching Republicans try to blame fucking ANYBODY ELSE for the effects of climate change and then going even farther and just making up shit about NOAA, FEMA, and HARP and blaming fuck8ng anybody but themselves is going to give ma an aneurism.
Like it'd be none thing I'd they were just making shit uo, I get that. Bit the narrative is actually fining traction.
Like imagine if somebody came into your house, ripped out a perfectly funtional sprinkler system, dumped gasoline everywhere, told me I wanst allowed to take garbage out of my house, clean my lint traps, or clean crosote out of my chimney and then started a fore and locked all the doors from the outside.
And as I was banging on the windows rhe person, watching from outside with a smug smile on his face, said "I heard the person who built your house built it so that it would burn down completely on its own after 10 years."
And I fucking believed them.
Asking "is climate change real and manmade" and then dumping everybody who says no into a mass grave would be the greatest leap forward humanity has ever experienced.
🤚🏿 I am.
Buckfast gets you fucked fast!
