    This is soooooo bloody pointless

    Does the right understand if weather becomes more volatile, swinging from extreme heat to cold, it would mean cars will breakdown, pipes will need to be replaced faster and faster, house insurance will keep on skyrocketing, electric bills will become more expensive, etc etc

      Mark my words: that stuff will continue to happen with more and more frequency, and instead of conceding that it has anything to do with climate change, they will blame liberals and the left.

      And their base (that they’ve manufactured over a couple of generations now to be stupid, racist, bigoted, and extremely opinionated) will eat it up.

        TPTB that are pulling the strings of the right-wing puppet show are doing it deliberately, because they want genocide.

          They want an underclass. Genocide doesn’t benefit them, but to stay in power they have to pander to a lot of people who want genocide.

            I’d say the same honestly, but TPTB know that climate collapse is real and the planet can’t aupport its high human population any longer, so they’re going to want to cull undesirables. Resource competition at its core.

              I won’t go that far. They need the underclass because they keep buying products to keep getting them richer. They just don’t care about the qualitiy of life of anyone below them. Quite literally they just said “Turn the AC up if it get’s too hot”, so dense and non interested in literally anyone else or what is actually happening.

              If their mansion gets swept away in a flood they’ll just build a new one. Won’t everyone else?

                Fair, but consider what will happen in 2030 when famines are near constant and society literally can’t continue to support an underclass. Then what will the ruling class do?

                  They’re already doing it, just build bunkers and wait out the uprisings! Huzzah rich folks!

                    I remember back when the rich hid in their bunkers in New Zealand during the lockdowns. That revealed a lot about how humanity truly is.

        Just as an example, look at insurance companies leaving Florida because of climate change associated risks, and how right-wingers are blaming this on “wokeism” instead of acknowledging climate change.

      No they don’t at all. To them they truly are so dense to think these are just flukes happening one after the other. I heard someone say “It was hotter in the 70s” like it’s some weird boomer pride thing, like walking uphill both ways.

      Oh and by the way no it fucking wasn’t. It was literally not hotter in the 70s, we’ve broken so many records since then, it’s just how you remember it.

        Well, actually, they were living in Florida in the 70s, and now they live in Michigan, so for them, it was hotter in the 70s.

        Logic.

        Just in the 70s I remember sunscreen being less of a thing. My Boomer parents would just throw us outside and let us get burned.
