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.

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.
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.
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
Well, you know... you can't attribute any one event with certainty.
Only 9 of the last 10 apocalypses were caused by global warming, and we can't really tell you which ones...
I talked with friends in the midwest after the 3rd consecutive year with worst storms on record. "Yeah okay they're bad, but there's not a pattern or anything, it was just a bad storm." THREE. CONSECUTIVE. YEARS. People for fucks sake maybe, just maybe this stuff is connected?!

IT'S THE LEFT
Drill babbbyyyyy drill.
Evacuation drill?
Good thing we kept out BluEMaGa guys!
Biden is still the president.
A lame duck president with a hostile Congress. For the moment, we have a president and not a king so its not like he can just do what he wants
The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that the president is above the law: as long as he is performing an "official act" he can not be prosecuted for it.
Congress is only an obstacle because he allows himself to be stopped by it.
Lol what happened to the bluemega guy? He was in every political thread until recently. Hmmmm
Ikr, and there was def more than one, suspiciously silent after November lol
How dare you, have some compassion, now is NOT the time to talk about Global "Warming" or whatever conspiracy you're hawking today. Our thoughts should be with the people, we should be sending thoughts and prayers, and you just want to make it all "political".

OBVIOUSLY THEY DESERVED IT BECAUSE THEY'RE A BUNCH OF HEATHENS
Oh yeah. We're doing fine as a country. The sad part is we could actually solve this problem, humanity could indeed solve this if we put our minds to it and unified. We're stupid dumb monkey brained though and can't think of anything beyond "I got mine"
The sad part is we could actually solve this problem, humanity could indeed solve this if we put our minds to it and unified.
Unified? With those disgusting foreigners? The degenerate leftists? The weird religious wackos? The MAGA chuds? The neoliberal shills? The Tankies? The know-nothing hoy paloy? The Epstein-loving bourgeois? The Hollywood sickos? The losers? The haters? The freaks? And some, of course, who I assume are nice people?
There's a lot of natural social divides that are difficult to surmount. But more frustrating and complicated than that, we have a certain number of scammers and opportunists who will step in and seize the banner of a popular front for self-promotion.
We saw this during OWS, during BLM, during the Climate marches, and during the Tea Party protests. Lots of would-be celebrities simply rush in and start hawking their brands under anything with serious mass appeal. Whether its a Sanders socialism or a Trump fascism or a Buttigieg radical centrism, I regularly see media jammed up with the same clown car of Hawk Tuah Girl promotionals that quickly drown out any kind of serious organizing.
This, combined with the heavy hand of corporate/political censorship that lands on the back of the more sincere and credible activists, disrupts the organic popular movements and obscures them with layer after layer of scam. AI is supercharging the process.
Case in point, any time I say something positive about Gaza or critical of Israel on Bluesky, my mentions fill up with generic 2-day-old accounts showing vaguely Arab-looking profiles asking for donations to relief organizations I've never heard of. Organizing in an environment that's overflowing with these kinds of scams - and, consequently, cultivating a ton of cynicism in the audience - is very difficult.
BLM is a great example. I remember being so mad, and wanting something to change, and there was a huge, massive cultural shift for it. I remember thinking how if everyone would unify behind one thing, we wanted one systemic thing to change - demilitarization of the police as an example, we could probably have done it. Everyone chanting and demanding the same one thing. Then we move onto the next, and the next, and the next.
Instead we got a list of like, 24 things that random people collected from chat rooms and online forums that they demanded. There was no way anyone was going to see a list that large and just say "Yup okay we're on it". But people wouldn't budge, their thing was the most important, it was all or nothing - and so that's what we got. Nothing. We could have had some huge systemic change there and instead nothing happened.
Occupy, BLM, protests, they're all well and good but they depend on people unifying. This here, this is the thing we want. Make it a bill and push it through now. It won't encompass everything. It won't be perfect. But it's progress. Instead we just go back and forth, and they know all they have to do is wait out the outcry until people get bored and they move on, so we can keep the status quo.

Cultural pollution. We are losing the ability to agree and act, piece by piece.
I dislike misanthropy, so I don't think there's no hope left, but climate change shows us how we built claims of self-autonomy, equality and compassion on a foundation of fake-it-till-we-make-it, thus on a foundation that is, simply put, not up to the task of our times.
global warning
global waning
Well at least they're consistent.
The meme is technically correct then.
What?? We’ve had many global warming warnings…. Globally!
