They were more determined to make the world this way than the rest of us were to make it better.

It's not but who's gonna stop them? That pretty much sums up Trumps entire second presidency.

They are so goddamn stupid it’s amazing. All of those pages are saved to the Internet you can’t delete them. By trying all you’re doing is bringing attention to them.

People just need to make their own conclusions from their own experiences. Science should help, but lots of people don't understand science.

Science should be the standard and ur personal experience should help in understanding the science. Science (esp climate science) is based off data, facts and rigorous testing.

I don't think that works for hurricanes and tornadoes. Not to mention temperatures especially wetbulb temperatures which have been increasing yearly since 1979, extreme heat humidity events have been doubling. People can't expect what their experience of a previous year will serve them well the next.
Wetbulb temperature ignorance in particular has been fatal to seniors in particular.
Experience is based on what youve been through and temperature tolerance is a myth people fall back on that's regrettable at best.

OK. My own experience is that we had like 3 months of non-stop heat this summer and no rain. And there is more of that every year
And yes as a kid, I remember snow and white Christmases and summer being hot but not this hot and dry. Hell, it's still way above the October norm so far in my country

Shocker, the political party of death and destruction wants to watch the world burn.
