HOW MUCH WORSE DOES CLIMATE CHANGE HAVE TO GET FOR LEAD BRAINS TO ACCEPT IT? 
Bro back in the 90s my car would be blanketed in dead bug guts even from a short drive. Now its pristine after a long trip. We are devastating everything
This one is very noticeable, and the decline in flying insect population has been staggering.
On the other hand, here where I live, there are now bitting mosquitos almost all year round instead of just the summer
hadn't ever considered the decline of bugs on the windshield, but you're absolutely correct
ugh driving in the summer used to be fucking gross at times, but I genuinely don't remember the last time a huge fat bug splattered on my windshield 🤔
HOLY SHIT!! it has a wikipedia article?!?
those pics are EXACTLY what I remember from the 90s, fucking everything used to be covered in bugs
The sounds of birds have also diminished. Now the forests are mostly quiet.
They want it because they think when society collapses they'll get to commit violence against climate refugees from the walls of fortress America
To them climate change is fascist rapture

They'll finally get their zombie apocalypse fantasy of being able to mow down hoards with their guns, but this time it's real oppressed humans.
Who even is convinced by this now? Even the most fox news addled freaks at my work have been talking about how unseasonably hot it's been.
Who even is convinced by this now?
MAGAts I've talked to and seen online often state that they really know what 
means and what he intends to do and that it's not the words he's saying.
You know, vibes. Feelings. That's only bad when (slurs) do it.
Next up to bat is the mainstreaming of the idea that ~~Jews~~ democrats are manipulating the weather
Eh they'll say that and then say it's all a Chinese Soros hoax in the next breath.
And if it weren't for denial, we wouldn't have any climate change discourse at all 
The greenwashing techbros with their le epic EVs want to build many more data centers for their treat printers. It's climate denial with Singularity(tm) characteristics.
It really is amazing that the tech scene as a whole is devoid of intellectualism, even though the whole idea of tech was built on that in the first place.
Capitalism once again destroying everything it touches. The techbros think money = success = personal worth because capitalism ties a person's value to how much profit they generate. Because the techbros have six figure salaries and college educations, they think they're the pinnacle of intellectualism. Teachers get looked down on because they don't make money, therefore the techbro is smarter than teachers.
And once you're the smartest person that can exist, why do anything more? Why bother reading or making art? Why bother understanding philosophy or people who led political movements? You're inherently superior and therefore an expert on those subjects because (again) you make more money than the people involved in that stuff.
It's especially comforting to subpar failsons who were dipshits growing up and finally found something they were good at. But rather than having some humility, they gloat about how everyone who doubted them was wrong.
Techbros are deeply set in their ways and the ruling class techbros haven't had a truly new idea since the 90s, instead just demanding their workers come up with new ways to try to chase that 90s invincibility high.
Climate enhanced storm wipes Mar-a-lago off the map.
Isn't there a rule where the lathe can only do silly or bad things?
I can hope that counts as silly. 
Just to ensure it doesn't make a material difference, this happens the day after Trump's death which is not attributable to climate change in any way
which is not attributable to climate change in any way
Not even by drying out a formerly wet boy? 
It's the lathe
True; the lathe can only do bad or silly things.
But that'd be silly if that happened, right? 
It's literally going to be 70 F on election day here in Pennsylvania you FUCK.
it's supposed to be pushing 80 here in Ohio on Tuesday!
Tropical highs in the middle of November but climate change is a hoax because the morning's are chilly.
Midwest has been seeing a few spring-like tornado threats this past week.
once we stop having seasons that get below room temperature, they'll finally accept that climate change is real
it has to stop getting "a bit cool" entirely
pretty sure we will all be dead by then
Optimistic case: We're saved by the heroic efforts of 
and others. American climate change denialists become a 
in the history books
These lead poisoned fucks are seriously leading a death cult. It's just unreal honestly.
I legit think long COVID caused brain damage to a bit chunk of the world. It would explain a lot.
The whole death drive angle baffles me. If you’re a right winger with clout and you aren’t trying to rules lawyer the Rapture, you’re trying to become a post-apocalypse feudal lord. Pisses me off, seeing as I’m one of the people who’d be left holding the bag and having to live with the world their doomed prophecy and/or delusions of grandeur would produce
Acceptance is meaningless.
Democrats accept it yet they also are trapped within the confines of what is possible in a liberal capitalist empire which means nothing is done. So they protest, they ensure that the fact it is an issue is /SEEN/ and that they are /seen/ being on the right side of it but do nothing or enact plans that were supposed to be enacted 30 years ago to actually work and are far too little, too late now.
So yes eventually even reactionaries will accept it but then they'll pull the Google CEO move which is to say well it's too late now so might as well double down on AI and other pollution and hope some technology of ours magics up a solution for us and then when that doesn't work in 20-25 years and the worst of it is hitting they'll say we had no way of knowing and blame China and various bad guys and a few token dead white people who are beyond the reach of any justice.
We're heading over the cliff, we're over the cliff and one of the drivers insists it's just a dip in the road while the other horrified is scolding them for driving off the cliff but insisting they needed to take that turn they missed when they headed over the cliff, they're insistent that they take it at the next opportunity despite that option of course being long past.

New insult for CHUDs just dropped.
It was mid 80s here on Halloween. That's not fucking normal.
It was mid 80s here on Halloween. That's not fucking normal.
It's becoming a new normal. 
It was 50s and rainy on Saturday which was super nice. That's my vibing weather.
I like old style Autumn as well. 
Right? Gotta take em while they still happen. I grew up around a lot of trees and we had pretty good autumns but Texas weather and seasons have been dumb even before the last 5 years when the climate issues really started to take off.
We're so fucked. 99% of conservatives in my country believe the same, especially lib boomers too.
I get the feeling that as gen z gets older, something similar will happen too
what he's saying is stupid bullshit but I cannot help but respect it more than hand-wringing liberals who claim to care and then work against any attempt to confront capital
I'm exhausted of "brutal honesty" and don't give it any additional consideration if it's the same result, just with brute flavor.
Under no circumstances do you “have to hand it to them”
best I can do is "gets put after the other major candidate in the post-revolutionary line for the gallows"
I think you can make an argument that pig-headed open climate science denial like that Trump spews is less dangerous than the more sophisticated and deceptive climate science denial that western liberals promote, where they claim to "believe the science" but all they do is to give a few handouts to the EV sector and maybe fund a few bazinga carbon capture projects in the hope that they can do green capitalism.
With the former it is easy to see that it is complete bullshit and that you have to look elsewhere for a sensible answer but the latter looks superficially sensible and convinces a lot of people who genuinely care about climate change that the adults in the room are stepping up and that a bazinga wizard will fix it.
Again, under no circumstances do you have to hand it to them.
We need to be able to criticize two things at once
If global warming is real how come my freezer is so cold?
HOW MUCH WORSE DOES CLIMATE CHANGE HAVE TO GET FOR LEAD BRAINS TO ACCEPT IT?
I don’t expect them to ever accept it.
Yeah, it was cool yesterday after having been 80 the day before
Supposed to go up into the 70s later this week too
There are islands in the Chesapeake Bay full of Trump voters that have about 80 years before they're completely permanently flooded. Smith and Tangier islands.
