The world is on fire and people just don’t give a shit. We’re more worried about keeping oil prices low than we are about rising oceans lol.
Through the month of june where I am in the south it’s going to be record breaking temperatures every day. Facing 111f this weekend and next Tuesday 114f.
This is in TX and those temps are IN THE SHADE… people are complaining that it’s hot, but still not talking about climate change.
I blame our media companies. They are owned by people who need capitalism to just power on because that’s their livelyhood and they are close enough to death and far enough north not to care. If our local weather people just talked about it every day and explain all these climate events as part of the great climate change I think people would start to care more and thus vote for people who care.
Sadly, at least in Texas, people flat out don’t believe it because they were raised thinking that anything you don’t believe in isn’t true and anything you believe in is totally true.
Irony that the worship of a supposed creator is also going to be the ruination of our species.
The question for me is, when will people realize something IS happening and it’s not just science fiction? there must be some point where you can´t ignore that. And when they do, who will they blame for it?
yeah you’d think when temps hit 114 like nothing they’d start to question what they know. Especially when every day for the foreseeable future is going to be near these crazy ass temps.
But no… “It’s always been hot”
Sadly it’s going to be when we have actual water rationing or the oceans have flooded the barrier islands that we built on that people will start to be worried about it. By then it’ll be way too late, and they’ll blame anyone except the politicians they voted for.
At this point we have to science our way out of this shit. We have a lot of governments with tons of money who could all contribute to the most powerful science team ever to exist and funnel funds to fight it.
Instead we are still arguing over if it’s even happening.
What really puzzles me are the folks who disingenuously argue the climate is changing, but that it’s not caused by human action. Because they admit there’s a problem, but crucially still want nothing done to address or remedy the problem.
Mind-boggling.
yeah I argue with those types as well. We still have to try and do something because HUMANS DON’T HAVE TO EXIST!!! lol
