I have already told my grandchildren to tell their children where the trumpster’s grave is so they can go piss on it. There will be a long line of those wanting to do that.
After a month of smoke, fire and 110+ temps here in Nor Cal We woke to low 60’s and sprinkles this morning. All misery brought to a true blue state at the hands of Trump controlling the Weather.
It is never too late to believe in science. It is too late to stop the ice caps from melting, the oceans from rising, or the catastrophic hurricanes, flooding, drought, and wildfires from increasing in frequency and ferocity. To find the tipping point look behind, not ahead.
I doubt this actually reflects the resolute Trumptards. You’ll recall they dismiss Dr. Fauci because he changed his learned opinion. Trumptards aren’t learned, and proud of their obstinate world view.
All those wishing to pee on Trump’s grave really need to see a head shrink. And the dude who is telling his grandkids where to find Trump’s grave to p.ss on it gets myvote for “Creepy Peepee Man” of all time.
In a couple of decades, when tides flood portions of coastal cities regularly causing dislocation of tens of millions in the US alone, and air conditioner use results in rolling blackouts in 70% of this nation 5-6 months/yr, and food prices are sky high due to diminished ocean fisheries/drought-diminished animal-vegetable growing areas, and mosquito-borne diseases are ~5x more severe than presently — including diseases that twenty years ago were unknown in the USA, and severe weather outcomes result in catastrophic damage to cities ~5x more frequently than even twenty years ago, and pandemics continue to occur with ever-decreasing intervals between events …
… right about then, will conservatives finally recognize that AGW climate change is the real deal and is an existential threat?
Hell no, they won’t! It’ll all be the fault of not criminalizing and maximally suppressing non-heterosexual people, of ever permitting non-heterosexual marriage, of not ridding the country of non-Christian religious practitioners, of not executing atheists and other non-Christians who won’t either convert to Christianity or leave the Christian Theocratic United States of America (thanks, former President tRump, for taking advantage of the death of the communist RBG and replacing her with a Heritage Foundation True Christian).
Then all that will be necessary is to find out who is still alive that is pissing off God to the point that He is punishing us, and kill them so that God will be content again and return is to life in the 1950”s or some other time that was really nice.
Objection: science is NOT a religion. It should be ACCEPT science. I’ve never had a clash between science and religion. I went to Catholic school and my biology teacher was a nun. (Biological Science Curriculum Study) I didn’t have a decent biology course in my eleven years at Penn State, but I did find both MIT courses online over a decade ago to update my knowledge. The lack of scientific literacy is holding down our ability to compete globally. I am amazed in the lack of scientific knowledge on a high school level from adults, but then employers don’t value it.
The biggest problems need big solutions. Individual actions to modulate climate change are important, but our common survival depends on species-wide actions coordinated by governments collaborating with each other.
This is yet another instance of American individualism gone awry. We are all intimately dependent on each other to a degree the species has never before encountered.
Think about it. Do you see the colors on your screen? How, exactly how did those colors get there? How many people were involved in rendering colors pixel by pixel on a flat screen? 1 million people? 50 million?
There are the artists, the computer programmers, the screen manufacturers, the chip makers. The silicon purifiers, the battery people, the people who make the machines that make the touch screens.
The list is not endless, but it’s close. Each of the people involved has to eat. So let’s include the farm workers and the tractor manufacturers. Plus the people who made the paint on the tractor chassis. And the oil field workers who extracted the natural gas to make the switch to turn on the windshield wipers in the tractor. And the roofing materials for the farmer’s house. And the copper for the plumbing. And the plastic to insulate the wiring in the house. On and on and on the interdependence goes.
On and on in a complex web of collaboration, both conscious and not in our consciousness.
Yet the libertarians think all this collaboration should be centered on the individual. They don’t think about the societal conditions that make the collaboration possible. That takes higher order thinking.
We can ameliorate climate change, but we have to do it as a species. But that’s so obvious, so reality-based, that it is way too complex for the simpleminded and ignorant who blindly follow a psychopathic malignant narcissist cult leader.
Afraid so pilgrim…it is way too late. Too many tipping points crossed it is (Gasp) out of human control now. Spare me all the new fantasy fixes cropping up like weeds. Science is not a belief system, it is a method a tool.

Not to worry. It’ll all be gone when the weather warms up in April.
We must achieve herd mentality, you know.

In some senses, yes. It will take decades of effort to cool off the west. In the meantime, it will dry up, burn, and bake.
