Weird, seems like maybe we've destroyed the climate. Who could have predicted this?

Didn’t those stupid science people mention it once or twice
You mean those stinky fakers who were raking in all those bucks from... (checks notes) ..."Big Science"?
Whatever. The point is where does it say anything about it in the Bible?
About the second coming:
The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
It's low key why a lot if people don't want to do anything about it, they see it as the second coming of Christ

The rich and corporations are killing our planet. They don't care if we die and people would rather save a hundred bucks on taxes than vote in their best interest.

Scientists 40 years ago - "The Earth is going to start warming and it's gonna cause issues"
40 years later
Issues - Exist
The media - "wHaT iS hApPeNiNg!?!?!?!?"

A bunch of idiots online: " it's just El ninio. I like warm weather."
Next year, we’ll probably see catastrophic algal blooms, as the cold at least killed off a lot of it. Next year, it will have a massive head start. Microcystins and hypoxic water will kill wildlife and poison the drinking water.
I can't pretend to predict the future but I imagine scientists everywhere are in a perpetual state of "oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck." Waiting to see what happens and how bad it's gonna be.
It's gonna be bad. Real bad
We reap what we sow and we been sowing this for decades.
This current melt is also due to localized factors, like the El Nino event we are going through, making the climate-change-induced ice reduction greatly exacerbated. Ice on the Great Lakes has been declining for 50 years.
Just as no Congressperson should be bringing in snow alls to refute climate change, we should also keep in mind that weather and climate are vastly different things.
Remember to bring this up in a couple years when Republicans are talking about how the ice is back so climate change isn't real.
But I always sort my recycling!
I stopped drinking milk!
Good thing Taylor swift is allowed to fucking take her jet to a city 30 mins away though. 🙄
As you should, but that's attempting to solve a different environmentally devistating issue.
Don't have kids
I’ll buy as many baby goats as I god damn please
Can't afford 'm anyway.
Maybe if companies do drive more green washing to avoid regulation, it will totally help. /s
I never thought that in 10 years, we'd go from one of the coldest UP winters I'd ever seen to one of the warmest. This was my first Christmas and New Years in 30 years where I didn't see snow on the ground. It's sad to see.
I worry how this will mess with the following seasons. With the lack of ice, the lake levels drop faster because the water can evaporate. Pair that with liquid water's darker color, means it will heat up faster and evaporate that much more water.
The lack of snow means we'll have lower spring runoff than normal. So the lakes won't get replenished as spring arrives. This could send us into drought conditions really quickly.
All of this will lead to plummeting lake levels. I wonder if it'll reach the levels from 2007-2012.
I’m in the LP and my snow tires haven’t had any use all season yet. This shit is serious
Edit: we just got our first winter weather advisory of the season!!! What coincidence lol
Meanwhile, She'll just won Advertising awards for their GReEn EnErGy ad$.
Whata time to be alive lol
Oh well, did all i could afford and the government demanded more by increasing the cost of living...pushing me in the reds with an employer that can't afford to increase the wage.
Good luck y'all...i just stuck around to watch it all burn, so maybe i do get lucky in the end.
if your employer can't afford to pay a living wage, the business should not exist, tho he is most likely just lying to you for those record profits.
also, it wouldn't really impact you if rich people stopped taking private jets everywhere, and cruise ships shut down...
