I would question whether any of the “emergencies” Trump declared to pass tariffs or other actions this year were based in any evidence at all.

And of course they then asked the questions “proven wrong? when? by whom?”
And then pointing out that Bill Gates is not a climate scientist when the answer no doubt refers to him.
Right?
They did that, right?
They are competent, right?

These Christian republicans are encouraging an Ice Age because they know they’ll be burning in hell for eternity.

When I moved to Florida I could walk in sandals on the pavement in the summer without those sandals melting if I stood still for a few minutes. Can’t do that now. The only thing proven wrong here is the MAGA ‘opinion’ on this subject that just happens to agree with their billionaire rulers that don’t want the efforts against climate change because that would hurt their profit margins.
MAGA voters are simply fatally stupid.

This is exactly why I don’t like politics. Let’s make up a bunch of crazy stuff that the other side *might* do to mask the ugly things that people currently in power are actually doing.

Reminder that nature doesn’t lie and doesn’t care about politics. The bleaching of coral reefs and increased natural disasters (wildfires, hurricanes, drought) disprove these people.

Kinda like how there isn’t a “border emergency” as proven by the fact that the vast majority of ICE isn’t at the border or ports of entry.

As I’ve become more politically involved with age, while also watching the rise of MAGA and the right wing grift, I have seriously expanded what kind of punishment I’d be ok with for people who lie like this.
These people deepen the divide between the US population. They make their nut misleading the intellectually challenged.
Those mislead people are angry because they’ve been told anybody left of them is a threat, is the enemy, and wants you gone.
So the most unstable of those people commit political violence where they feel like they are justified because the president and a thousand talking heads tell them they need to fight to save their way of life.
The political atmosphere they’ve built based off lies for personal gain has and will continue to get more people killed.
It’s also stopping the progress of our society in an extremely detrimental way. All just to make them a little more money.

The GQP is a terrorist organization trying to destroy America and replace it with a Christofascist ethnostate.

This is also what I really dislike about modern discourse.
I couldn’t possibly care less about opinions on a subject like this. I prefer cold, hard facts and then an appropriate planned response… Not this data “perspective” bullshit that’s rife with misinformation and doctored data.
We know the truth. Just like we know fossil fuels are a cliff we are racing toward. The speed at which we get there is variable but that’s not an excuse to stomp on the acceleration. We should be preparing and planning, refining tech as a suitable replacement. Instead we get the worst of humanity politically rolling coal in a subdivision.

I’m imagining a Democratic president declaring a health care emergency and bringing in universal health care with an emergency wealth tax.

Just 15 short years ago, I was a freshman in high school. In the marching band, too! I remember it snowing at some of the football games in october, as I sat real close with the girl I liked at the time.
Last year in 2024, it didnt even snow for christmas. Not even once through october, November, or december. It probably wont snow again this year. Or next year.
But yeah climate change is a liberal hoax.

We have guys like this in my company (power industry). They print off vague articles from 2001 where some guy in Ecuador said burning coal is good for the environment. They then staple those articles to their office wall and get promoted.
What I can’t understand is why they suddenly care about the environment. I thought that was gay or something? Are we gay for burning coal? Illuminati? I can’t keep up.

Ask Alaska where entire villages need to be relocated as melting permafrost means the buildings are sinking.
Of course, the funding for relocation has been cut.

I just never understood climate change denial. You can’t see all the shit we put into the atmosphere and think ‘Looks like nothing to me’
lets say we do spend a bunch of time and money making sure our planet survives. Worst case we waste all that effort and still get wiped out and best case we have a cleaner, healthy air

Even ignoring the fact that the climate emergency is very real, does he not realize how fake the emergency he claims is? This whole regime are dumb as a bag of rocks
