    And still people deny climate change.

    “THEY’VE BEEN SAYING THE SKY IS FALLING SINCE THE 70’S AND NOTHING HAPPENED! IT’S ALL BOGUS”

    Dumb fucking cunts, it’s BEEN happening. 50 years might as well be overnight on earth’s lifespan, but even if this shit happened literally overnight you’d have these stupid fucking mouthbreathers saying “NUH UH”

    I don’t get it. When did republicans start hating science? What is their vested interest in denying climate change? It’s literally just the republican thing to do now so they do it, and then call the rest of brainwashed for good measure.

    It makes me want to slam my fucking head into the wall I cannot wrap my mind around their fucking stupidity.

      “Scientists keep moving the goalposts!”

      Because we’ve been running over the goalposts like a goddamn freight train. First it was about avoiding mass extinctions. Oops, too late. Then it was about saving coral reefs. Oops, too late. Then it was about avoiding massive worsening chaotic weather systems. Oops, too late. Now it’s about reducing the severity of the droughts and floods. Now it’s about keeping the oncoming death toll in the hundreds of millions instead of billions.

      One, they’ve been heavily propagandized for decades by oil companies. The whole “in the 70s scientists warned of a coming ice age!” and “junk science HOAX!” bullshit. Part of their belief is the contrarian “if democrats believe this, I believe the opposite” stupidity that’s become common. Also, since they’re reactionaries, they loathe the idea of anything changing, so they fear “they’re taking away my gas guzzling truck!” or “I don’t WANT an electric chainsaw!”.
