Makes me wonder how you could see the year-on-year increase in climate related natural disasters, temperature records being broken over and over in both directions, the shortening of the “between” seasons, and come to conclusion that Climate change isn’t real.
Even arguing it isn’t man-made is a better argument, because at least that only involves handwaving away the well-known effects of the pollutants we’re dumping into the atmosphere by the tonnes.
“If climate change is real why is it still cold in the winter”
“There’s no climate change, just earth cycles. This is a good thing actually.”
“Climate change is fake and doesn’t matter because Jesus is coming and the True Believers™ will be ruptured to heaven and the world will be destroyed and remade, as it is written”
“Climate change isn’t real, the lamesteam media is a bunch of lying communist feminazis paid for by the liberals, and the scientists are all a bunch of fascist propagandists trying to turn America into a dictatorship ruled by gay Satan worshipping baby killers. We have to prepare to use our 2nd amendment rights to fight the commu-fascists flooding our country with illegal aliens.”
-your average climate change denier. Also my mom, my uncle, and my mom’s group of little old ladies at church.
Idk maybe she should get a PhD in every scientific field that she gets curious about /s
How many PhDs do the people saying “listen to actual science” have you reckon?
Blurring the names is a rule on both reddit and lemmy to avoid doxxing. It’s not my rule, it’s the rule of the lemmy.world instance and lemmy, which everyone must abide by. It isn’t specifically stated in the lemmy rules whether you need to censor the names of public figures, so I’ve just been censoring the usernames and handles of the general public. Should the rules of the instance and lemmy change, the rules of this community will be adjusted accordingly.
Secondly, there’s nothing in lemmy’s, the instance, or the community rules that says posts must be recent. At the moment my main goal is for people other than me to post content; there are 29 posts here and 28 of them are mine. As long as it meets the posting guidelines and doesn’t break any rules, I don’t care where you got it or how old it is.
Thirdly, I have sticked a post to the top of this community asking for moderators, feedback and input on how this community is run. That is the proper place to leave your feedback, but I would prefer something more helpful than “it’s dumb”. This would be the perfect opportunity for you to post your own content as an example of what you’d like to see here. Volunteer your time to help moderate this community, or make a suggestion on how old recent posts should be in the sticked thread, for other subscribers to weigh in. Or contribute in literally any other way than just being critical, because I’m just one person trying my best.
It doesn’t take a degree to surmise that pumping our environment full of noxious gas is a bad idea.
Would leave your car running in the garage with the door closed? Earth = Big garage with lots of cars. That should be easy enough for anyone to understand
You would think. Ugh. It makes complete sense to me, but these big picture things are kinda lost on many. There is a lot of angry, and confused people in my part of the world. In the end, I can’t blame them, as they’re apart of a larger system with the same mentality, and many have never been given a chance to see outside their own survival within that system. I can try though, and hope. Part of me feels the climate deniers are just that. In denial… about their own place in the world, but do feel these consequences in their bones. Some are just outright selfish and really don’t care.
Same energy as Tom Morello.
I love that people are surprised that a man who prominently wrote “ARM THE HOMELESS” on a guitar he uses on stage is leftist as fuck. Like, I don’t know what you expected dude.
Arming everyone doesn’t sound leftist as fuck, then again, it’s ridiculous for something like political ideology to be represented by a one dimension
