Well I, myself, am not currently personally on fire at this particular moment, which proves conclusively that climate change is a hoax and that our glorious, benevolent job creators deserve another tax cut and, fuck it, give em a bailout too just for the hell of it!
Just don't anyone dare give one of our innumerable homeless "people" in our innumerable tent cities a sandwich. That would just enable them to keep being poor. In fact, lets give people of net worth higher than a hundred million an annual, national civic award for occasionally having to see the homeless out of their car and limo windows, as a thank you for allowing the nation to bathe in the owner's divine affluent light, that just feels on theme for us.
Dale, if it gets one degree hotter I'm kicking your ass
This MF woke af
I was stuck in a waiting room for two hours today and the tv had the weather channel on. They covered the fires thoroughly, as well as record high temperatures all across the country, and the fact that before now such and such area only had five 100+ degree days and this year it had 11! Etc.
The part I really noticed though is the number of times they actually said the phrase: climate change. ZERO
Sigh
The fact that they keep having to say that climate change isn't real kind of makes me think climate change is real
It didn't come across as denial to me. It was pretty on the nose, they just wouldn't come out and just say it. The knuckle dragging mouth breathers need it spelled out word for word.
Honest question, what was the role of climate change in the Hawaii fires? Are they having a particularly dry summer?
A very rough interpretation: Climate change puts more CO2 into the air. This traps heat into the air. This also allows more water into the air. Water is a great heat sink so it allows more thermal energy into the atmosphere.
All of this drives more extreme weather. Hotter summers, more extreme weather fluctuations, which leads to colder winters (hotter on average but can get more extreme), higher winds due to temperature disparity, and generally more precipitation. All of this drives more visible fluctuations like more and bigger tropical storms (hurricanes, typhoons), changes weather patterns leading to droughts, etc.
You can see trends for things like storms, wildfires, droughts, etc all going up.
