It's the consensus amongst climate scientists, not Internet trolls. Therein lies the material difference

Beside the bronzed copy of WaltAppel's final post?

How about for a second you resist your impulse to take cheap shots at them for being trans sex workers, and process the larger message of the story: climate change is going to have the biggest affect on those with the fewest resources. I can grumble that insurance raised our deductible for a roof replacement due to local hail damage, or comment on the road I rode the school bus on every day as a kid has washed out 3 times in the past year due to storms larger than anybody in the area ever remembers seeing...shit that inconveniences or concerns me, but doesn't do much more right now. People who have zero financial buffer and are living in particularly affected areas are going to be hit the hardest. That's going to include Thai trans sex workers and many others living hand to mouth. You could show a bit of empathy, or at minimum keep your mouth shut and count your blessings for having the sheer dumb luck of being born a white dude in North America....or, you could have a chuckle 'cause they wear dresses but were born with penises.

Our office was in the path of totality..big boss catered BBQ and we all went out and watched it together. Was a great show, but I'm in the same boat for lack of photos. I figured there'll be literally millions of pictures, many of them taken by better photographers than me. I'd prefer to watch it with my eyes rather than through my phone.

The reality is that based on where we’re at today, Biden is the only alternative. Maybe in 7 months, we’ll look at President Elect Trump and wish that there had of been another option, but at this stage in the game, Biden’s our horse. No doubt that Trump is a threat, but I wouldn’t write Biden off as nothing more than the lesser of evils. He’s done some good thinks like the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPs act, student debt….that are materially improving lives for lots of people. It’s hard to imagine that the trend wouldn’t continue if he gets another 4 years.

Assuming he was going for 'Moderate In Name Only'

They're probably just ticked off at some troll trying to be cute

As the husband of a Texan librarian, I can say you're closer to the truth here than any of us would like.

Even for you, that is some weak weak sauce dude.

This is one of the many reasons why he shouldn’t be President, but there’s no shortage of people who don’t give a shit. I ditched FB a while ago, but there’s no shortage of LinkedIn posts from my oil and gas contacts who are full-on mainlining the KoolAid.

Whatever you gotta keep telling yourself there Skippy. You already sell off all your heavy vehicles now that you're aware of their environmental impact?

I've got a lot of concerns about Trump pulling off a win in November....first and foremost is the concern that there's a sizable chunk of the population that's stoked about the prospect of giving that maniac another 4 years. The fact that Trump's MAGA-fying the RNC, installing the craziest of the crazies to run the show and almost certainly planning to use it as a piggy-bank for legal fees all work to providing a glimmer of hope.

What are you doing posting here?!?!? You should be running out to sell your wife's SUV and buy a Civic, now that you're aware of the dangers of heavy vehicles!

The Dude aggregates

Is 'micro aggregation' an oxymoron?

How often you gotta replace them regenerative 'break' pads?

The percentage voting for right wing ideologies is high and getting higher, but at least in the US it's still far south of half. Democrats have won the popular vote in the US for the last several elections....the electoral college is a great thing!

As Jon Stewart pointed out this week: if you're not big on the incoming immigrants, having Hannibal Lecter types amongst them might not be the worst thing ever...

And facts that don’t agree with your world view

No doubt the replacement will be more MAGA/crazy, but we can hope they’ll be nowhere near as effective as McConnell (at least as effective as McConnell when he’s not glitching)

We’ve got a high of 93 forecast for Monday here in North TX…in late fucking February

Maybe, but a temporary spike due to flaming follicles is more akin to a weather event and should not be conflated with a changing climate.

Sodium ion?!?!?! Guess you don't give a fuck about the poor children working in the salt mines...You won't be so smug when half the country is growing goiters because their iodized salt was taken away in service of your virtue signalling, and the other half is sitting here eating bland-ass potato chips!

It is in Trump’s dictionary (in Sharpie)
