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.

most recent interesting news i heard was it being attributed to some fancy "DEI" term.
if anybody can give more clarity on what the fancy term is and how, if even, remotely it is to said disasters, i'd appreciate it a lot.
DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion. They are basically saying that the fires are so bad because they hired a bunch of women, black and gay people. If they had only hired MEN (TM) to the fire departements, they would have it under control by now!
Thanks for the clarification! Very well explained!
Theory is that if only white firefighters were hired more, 100mph winds would be trivial conditions to fight fires in.
all these winds would be somehow scared of skin color!
surely not in my 2025 bingo card.

Good thing we kept out BluEMaGa guys!
Lol what happened to the bluemega guy? He was in every political thread until recently. Hmmmm
Ikr, and there was def more than one, suspiciously silent after November lol
Biden is still the president.
A lame duck president with a hostile Congress. For the moment, we have a president and not a king so its not like he can just do what he wants
The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that the president is above the law: as long as he is performing an "official act" he can not be prosecuted for it.
Congress is only an obstacle because he allows himself to be stopped by it.
Drill babbbyyyyy drill.
Evacuation drill?
IT'S THE LEFT
Ez fix, just get Nuclear Winter to counteract it
As more and more of the US economy is dominated by energy extraction (O&G sector consistently has some of the largest margins and highest pay rates in Red and Purple States) and energy consumption (AI data centers are electricity hogs, automotive/airline industry is a voracious petroleum consumer, real estate HVAC hits the grid hard during heat waves/freezes) it becomes difficult to convince people of a thing that they are paid well not to believe.
The risk of a natural disaster obliterating your livelihood in an instant is much lower than the prospect of a creditor foreclosing on your property and savings if you're unemployed for too long.
