The United States is getting slammed by a stretch of weather extremes, from flooding rain to record heat and late-season snow.

    Sure lets fuck with the ecosystem just because it’s big.

    The fuck is wrong with you? Do you have a fraction of understanding what happens when we pass climate thresholds? Do you understand how many people literally will die? Or do you simply not care.

      Climate change is real. I don’t need to believe in it. It has done terrible things to the world. There needs tie be serious substantial changes in how the government’s and big business act. There needs to be real pressure put on the elite jet setters.

      The fact that the country spans from the arctic circle, down to damn near the equator is the reason there are such different weather patterns. The problem isnt the variety, it’s the location. There is an expectation to have heat on Florida, tornadoes in the alley, cold in the north. The problem is that they sensationalized the news to the point where you have to be a damn scientist to know wether this is a shift from the expected or bonkers off the wall.

      Our systems have been overloaded for years and we have groups that do not know how to critical think or check for bias in the news articles they read, and that leads to panic.

      To see a headline and immediately jump to a conclusion is the wrong thing. It has to be read and questioned. Before it can be understood and reacted to.
