    This is a tragedy, and unfortunately the general sentiment I’ve seen online from trumpers is that “this is not natural” and “this was an intentional geoengineering attack by the democrats”. MTG has already introduced a bill that:

    prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense.

    This is the worst timeline.

      So the combined efforts of 8 billion people can’t change the climate, but the democrat party can? Do they think it’s full of supervillains or something? Oh fuck. They probably do, don’t they?

        Do they think it’s full of supervillains or something?

        Remember, with these types, every accusation is a confession.

        EDIT - clarification: They’re attributing nasty supervillain weather-control powers to the “Libs” because, were they themselves in possession of such abilities, they’d gladly use them in such terrible ways.

        As a progressive, I would LOVE to have these mythical powers that Turdpublicans think me to have. Sadly, I can’t turn off wildfires or make mosquitos stop sucking.

      That is a shit policy. That wording means that planes can’t be used to pour fire retardants onto blazes, and likely many other useful practices that I don’t know about.

        You can also flip it the other way and force chemical companies to completely stop dumping of anything into the air because their burning waste causes acid rain which has been scientifically proven and is known to alter weather negatively. I’m sure all of her petroleum constituents would love that.

      Their behavior is such a disservice to the victims.They simply couldn’t admit to being wrong about climate change. It’s painfully disingenuous. And will create more victims in the future as magical thinking and conspiratorial voices are elevated

      Climate denial should be seen as the same as being a Nazi. People are actually being harmed and biomes are being destroyed.
