How many times are we gonna die of climate change?

I’m at 349. Eagerly awaiting the big 3-5-0.

That original polar bear they were worried about when they were still calling it "Global Warming" is still collecting a social security check

Seemingly, each new day provides a moment in which I realize I have underestimated just how stupid conservatives can be.

No one ever said we’d be dead by now. Temperature increases have progressed as predicted. The effects of which will slowly snowball over the next few decades. But we’re seeing them now. Hurricanes, for example. While 2023 was quiet, major hurricanes have increased substantially over the past couple of decades and increases in the cost of homeowners insurance will eventually lead to significant migration from coastal areas. This is just one example of the economic impact of warming.

Education is important.

So you just ignore the entire last year’s worth of data.

Life on earth has always flourished more during warm cycles as opposed to cold cycles.

The paradox is less air pollution makes for more radiant heat from the sun. The Atlantic is getting warmer because we are polluting less than ever.

This is straight up bullshite on both counts.

Of course we are all going to die. Climate change has nothing to do with it.
