I liked yesterday's picture of the Titanic nosing deeply into the water and somebody up on the stern end saying if we're supposedly "sinking" how are we up so high? Classic denialist mentality. Unfortunately also typical of the meme-level thinking people do on most issues now.
They voted trump back in to the white house, there's no hope for them.
Well the first one is just a normal Tuesday. Still likely effected by global warming, but not really disasters like the other three.
Well the first one is just a normal
For folks in the south?
Well it is now.
I mean yes, but also

The US by far gets the most press, and has some of the most braindead responses to the climate crisis, but it’s a big club of assholes, and America is just a part of it
Now show us per capita
How does this change my message that the US isn’t the only player in this game?
Edit:
According to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_greenhouse_gas_emissions_per_capita
By percent of global average
But it's cold where I live! /s
Well, yeah. Hehe. The first image with a plow in the snow is very normal where I live. And there are millions living with this. It doesn't convey the meaning of snow where it doesn't normally snow, or bigger snowstorms when they happen, to people living where it snows regularly for a big chunk of the year, but I understand the spirit of the whole anyway.
Or places that normally get snow are getting less and less.
Deregulated weather
Privatize the weather!
As MAGA/ADL would say it is "pro hamas woke climate alarmists supporting DEI" that make Jewish Space Lazers cause all of this.
You won't convince people if you use the term "warming" and then present them snow in Texas. Climate change is the right expression.
Warning*
Climate change is a GOP/Oil industry invented term to sound less scary than global warming. It doesn't mean no snow ever again, or every square inch of planet is warmer than last year.
”Climate Crisis“ is a term that has been established in Germany. Pretty fitting and doesn't mess with people's expectations (I hope).
Climate catastrophe
I don't object to that term. With "climate change" we get the opinion "well climate has always been changing so drill baby drill won't make it stop changing".
Eh, "Global Warming" is fine. Texas isn't the globe. I've come to believe the whole "If we explain it differently, maybe it'll convince them" approach is largely a waste of energy.
Excuse me, but as a resident of the planet Texas, you both are wrong in assuming we have the ability to comprehend anything we didn't hear come from our own assholes.
You fool! Texas is a Star System not a planet. Houston for example is a planet.
It's right there on the flag!
As more and more of the US economy is dominated by energy extraction (O&G sector consistently has some of the largest margins and highest pay rates in Red and Purple States) and energy consumption (AI data centers are electricity hogs, automotive/airline industry is a voracious petroleum consumer, real estate HVAC hits the grid hard during heat waves/freezes) it becomes difficult to convince people of a thing that they are paid well not to believe.
The risk of a natural disaster obliterating your livelihood in an instant is much lower than the prospect of a creditor foreclosing on your property and savings if you're unemployed for too long.
This isn't global warming this is just .....
most recent interesting news i heard was it being attributed to some fancy "DEI" term.
if anybody can give more clarity on what the fancy term is and how, if even, remotely it is to said disasters, i'd appreciate it a lot.
I believe the fancy "DEI term" is the N word, unfortunately.
Theory is that if only white firefighters were hired more, 100mph winds would be trivial conditions to fight fires in.
all these winds would be somehow scared of skin color!
surely not in my 2025 bingo card.
DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion. They are basically saying that the fires are so bad because they hired a bunch of women, black and gay people. If they had only hired MEN (TM) to the fire departements, they would have it under control by now!
Thanks for the clarification! Very well explained!
Ez fix, just get Nuclear Winter to counteract it
