I seriously thought they were talking about giving out a global warning or something and scrolled by confused, scrolling Lemmy again and seeing it once more I realized they were talking global warming

Agent Smith (the Wachowskis) had us dead to rights.
We are a macro cancer of the natural world. You can point to our supposed good works, but from the perspective of most surface life, well... the surface life we haven't yet exterminated in the name of glorious economic metastasis, we are a fucking plague.
Metastatic tumors refuse to stop too. It's in their nature.
I find consolation in knowing we aren't the first macro cancer Earth has survived, see the trees of the carboniferous period, and life will survive our species' very loud, eager murder suicide.
The great thing about the palisades fires, they increased police presence and cut fire fighters so you know there was 0 homeless presence. Only rich bastards that can either afford it, or deserve it.
wasn't it called climate change?
global warming is the raising of the global average surface temperature. This causes climates of many regions to change. It wasn't renamed, it's just two connected phenomena
The Bush administration coined the term climate change to try and soften the urgent or legitimacy of the issue, Bush at one point owned an oil company.
The Bushes owned fucking Texas, and expanded into Florida.
Nah now it's climate exchange
We might be at climate conundrum, survival of life as we know it or more short term profit for the few.
Did we change the term to "global warning"?
Didn’t notice until you pointed it out

You didn't read my comment or the post?
That was a previous term for climate change.
No, the term was "global warming"
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.
Oh, I need that pic.
They voted trump back in to the white house, there's no hope for them.
As an American trapped inside with these proudly ignorant fuckwits, can confirm.
Good luck when climate change makes us desperate though. There's literally only one thing we are genuinely very, very good at, to my shame; mass production of the means of mass murder. It's pathetic how many of my fellow Americans take a perverse pride in this.
I genuinely fear for the rest of the world when the water wars start. We're idiocracy with a cartoonishly big stick we're absolutely dumb and petty enough to use.
Once we smash enough stuff the stick will start smashing us too, don't worry.
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
