The great thing about the palisades fires, they increased police presence and cut fire fighters so you know there was 0 homeless presence. Only rich bastards that can either afford it, or deserve it.

Did we change the term to "global warning"?
That was a previous term for climate change.
No, the term was "global warming"
wasn't it called climate change?
The Bush administration coined the term climate change to try and soften the urgent or legitimacy of the issue, Bush at one point owned an oil company.
Nah now it's climate exchange
I liked yesterday's picture of the Titanic nosing deeply into the water and somebody up on the stern end saying if we're supposedly "sinking" how are we up so high? Classic denialist mentality. Unfortunately also typical of the meme-level thinking people do on most issues now.
Oh, I need that pic.
They voted trump back in to the white house, there's no hope for them.
Well the first one is just a normal Tuesday. Still likely effected by global warming, but not really disasters like the other three.
Well the first one is just a normal
For folks in the south?
Well it is now.
I mean yes, but also

The US by far gets the most press, and has some of the most braindead responses to the climate crisis, but it’s a big club of assholes, and America is just a part of it
Now show us per capita
How does this change my message that the US isn’t the only player in this game?
Edit:
According to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_greenhouse_gas_emissions_per_capita
By percent of global average
As MAGA/ADL would say it is "pro hamas woke climate alarmists supporting DEI" that make Jewish Space Lazers cause all of this.
You won't convince people if you use the term "warming" and then present them snow in Texas. Climate change is the right expression.
Eh, "Global Warming" is fine. Texas isn't the globe. I've come to believe the whole "If we explain it differently, maybe it'll convince them" approach is largely a waste of energy.
Excuse me, but as a resident of the planet Texas, you both are wrong in assuming we have the ability to comprehend anything we didn't hear come from our own assholes.
You fool! Texas is a Star System not a planet. Houston for example is a planet.
It's right there on the flag!
Warning*
Climate change is a GOP/Oil industry invented term to sound less scary than global warming. It doesn't mean no snow ever again, or every square inch of planet is warmer than last year.
”Climate Crisis“ is a term that has been established in Germany. Pretty fitting and doesn't mess with people's expectations (I hope).
Climate catastrophe

But it's cold where I live! /s
Well, yeah. Hehe. The first image with a plow in the snow is very normal where I live. And there are millions living with this. It doesn't convey the meaning of snow where it doesn't normally snow, or bigger snowstorms when they happen, to people living where it snows regularly for a big chunk of the year, but I understand the spirit of the whole anyway.
Or places that normally get snow are getting less and less.
How dare you, have some compassion, now is NOT the time to talk about Global "Warming" or whatever conspiracy you're hawking today. Our thoughts should be with the people, we should be sending thoughts and prayers, and you just want to make it all "political".

OBVIOUSLY THEY DESERVED IT BECAUSE THEY'RE A BUNCH OF HEATHENS
Oh yeah. We're doing fine as a country. The sad part is we could actually solve this problem, humanity could indeed solve this if we put our minds to it and unified. We're stupid dumb monkey brained though and can't think of anything beyond "I got mine"
The sad part is we could actually solve this problem, humanity could indeed solve this if we put our minds to it and unified.
Unified? With those disgusting foreigners? The degenerate leftists? The weird religious wackos? The MAGA chuds? The neoliberal shills? The Tankies? The know-nothing hoy paloy? The Epstein-loving bourgeois? The Hollywood sickos? The losers? The haters? The freaks? And some, of course, who I assume are nice people?
There's a lot of natural social divides that are difficult to surmount. But more frustrating and complicated than that, we have a certain number of scammers and opportunists who will step in and seize the banner of a popular front for self-promotion.
We saw this during OWS, during BLM, during the Climate marches, and during the Tea Party protests. Lots of would-be celebrities simply rush in and start hawking their brands under anything with serious mass appeal. Whether its a Sanders socialism or a Trump fascism or a Buttigieg radical centrism, I regularly see media jammed up with the same clown car of Hawk Tuah Girl promotionals that quickly drown out any kind of serious organizing.
This, combined with the heavy hand of corporate/political censorship that lands on the back of the more sincere and credible activists, disrupts the organic popular movements and obscures them with layer after layer of scam. AI is supercharging the process.
Case in point, any time I say something positive about Gaza or critical of Israel on Bluesky, my mentions fill up with generic 2-day-old accounts showing vaguely Arab-looking profiles asking for donations to relief organizations I've never heard of. Organizing in an environment that's overflowing with these kinds of scams - and, consequently, cultivating a ton of cynicism in the audience - is very difficult.
BLM is a great example. I remember being so mad, and wanting something to change, and there was a huge, massive cultural shift for it. I remember thinking how if everyone would unify behind one thing, we wanted one systemic thing to change - demilitarization of the police as an example, we could probably have done it. Everyone chanting and demanding the same one thing. Then we move onto the next, and the next, and the next.
Instead we got a list of like, 24 things that random people collected from chat rooms and online forums that they demanded. There was no way anyone was going to see a list that large and just say "Yup okay we're on it". But people wouldn't budge, their thing was the most important, it was all or nothing - and so that's what we got. Nothing. We could have had some huge systemic change there and instead nothing happened.
Occupy, BLM, protests, they're all well and good but they depend on people unifying. This here, this is the thing we want. Make it a bill and push it through now. It won't encompass everything. It won't be perfect. But it's progress. Instead we just go back and forth, and they know all they have to do is wait out the outcry until people get bored and they move on, so we can keep the status quo.

I'm less frustrated by the catalog of demands (plenty of them were reasonable on their face). I was more distressed at how a series of local protests, marches, and sit in near St. Louis and Baltimore became a bunch of national talking heads claiming to be leading the organization or in touch with those that were.
As soon as BLM became a clothing brand, it was over. Nevermind how many actual activists were arrested on paper thin charges or straight up murdered, while campaigners in LA and NY just grandstanded in the moment.

You're talking lobbying which is fine in it's own right. But it's expensive and the sort of activity that's ripe for grifting.
Asking people for money, for free labor, and for donations in kind is necessary for an effective legislative change. But it's also a great opportunity to get paid self promoting.
Whether it's Oral Roberts saying he needs a million dollars to save his church or God will call him back to heaven. Or Kamala Harris saying she needs you to donate time/money to her campaign right now or we lose democracy. It's all a ripe opportunity to play on anxiety in order to commit fraud.

This isn't global warming this is just .....
Well, you know... you can't attribute any one event with certainty.
Only 9 of the last 10 apocalypses were caused by global warming, and we can't really tell you which ones...
I talked with friends in the midwest after the 3rd consecutive year with worst storms on record. "Yeah okay they're bad, but there's not a pattern or anything, it was just a bad storm." THREE. CONSECUTIVE. YEARS. People for fucks sake maybe, just maybe this stuff is connected?!
There's no discernable pattern until it affects me. And then it's a deep-state conspiracy.
It's just darpa controlling the weather bruh
Deregulated weather
Privatize the weather!
