    On Monday, amid desperate evacuation warnings, Greene unleashed a hot new take. “Climate change is the new Covid,” she wrote. “Ask your government if the weather is manipulated or controlled. Did you ever give permission to them to do it? Are you paying for it? Of course you are.”

    We haven’t, but we don’t have a chance to.

    Both candidates are pro-fracking, even tho in coal friendly battleground state Pennsylvania 58% support banning it.

    trump broke fossil fuel production records when he was in office, and then Biden broke those records. And regardless of who the next president is, were likely going to break them again.

    If you give a shit about climate change and humans changing the weather, tough shit.

    There’s no viable option that will do anything to fix this issue.

    So ironically there’s some truth to this: it’s happening because humans caused it, and the people who caused it (fossil fuel companies and politicians from both parties) aren’t going to do anything to stop it from happening again.

    So it will happen again, and again, and again. Until we get enough politicians that won’t take fossil fuel donations in office. And then we can pass climate legislation, and maybe a couple decades after that things will stop getting worse. If we’re lucky in 4-5 generations it might even start improving instead of getting worse slower.

    I hope so, shits pretty bad already if you haven’t noticed.

      You might not care about climate change, but climate change cares about you, and it’s gonna knock down your house. :3

        Yeah, it’s not even like it’s just the South anymore, the last hurricane almost made it to Michigan and knocked power out for days in some parts of the Midwest.

        Fucking insane that both parties refuse to even admit there’s a problem. Even crazier they’re both pushing for loosening of regulations that will directly make it worse.
