    This meme is poorly worded. It says that it’s grandma’s fault that October used to be cold. It should say that it’s Grandma’s fault that October is no longer cold.

    Meh. Can we have the same meme but with old rich men?

    If you want to represent the generations that fucked the climate up for gain, let’s pick folks who look a bit more like those who did.

    It’s scary and yet many people refuse to believe in climate change. I’ve had argument with a denier on social media. I can tell that the person is not being deliberately malicious, because he did let up on some points, but he’s the type to kick the can down the road and hopelessly hoping to deal with the problem later on. I think a lot of people who handwaves the seriousness of climate change prefer to look the other way. I know far too many people who are like this even if it’s not about climate change.

      I know scientifically minded people who view it both as ‘hysteria,’ and for what remains, something that geoengineering can solve in the future.

      In other words, look up the WSJ article advocating for fossil fuel production maximization as a net economic optimization in the long term, basically ‘better to maximize efficiency and minimize suffering now, to better geoengineer solutions in the future.’

      …I read geoengineering papers. They are horrific. As in “our state-of-the-art-solution would… pour acid rain over the ice caps. And it’s still economically unfeasible, but less unfeasible. And maybe it will blunt things some?”

      I’m offended such arguments are being presented.

      But I can see right where those opinions come from, as with every twist of climate change denialism.


      The environmental conspiracists are right. It really is Big Oil and such groups, from what I can see.

      it reminds me of this quote from game of thrones, is not the same thing, but it gives the same vibe about the scope of people’s thinking and worries: “The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace. They never are.”

      They need to do something with the coal, this way at least smoke and sparks fly while she does parkour with her walker. It’s only a problem when she’s downwind from it or the mall isn’t outdoors.

    Don’t panic yet. Give corporations and their store-bought politicians time to convince us it’s normal.
