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

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

    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 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.

    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!!!

        “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

      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.

          Sorry meant to post that at the top level about the people trying to ignore the issue. That wasn’t aimed at you.

    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.
