"But it's cold outside. Climate change isn't real"
AcidZebra
humanity: can't ignore eh? Here, hold my beer.
PoorSucker
If you stop naming them there will not be any more hurricanes
codeblue4me4
But I need fema to pay to remodel my beach house every 5 years or so.
lalwaysupvotecatsandTHT
They don't ignore it, they actively deny it with misinformation and deflections.
Nivvi
But its a natural cycle of the planet /s
TheOriginalAmberRose
Exaggerated by human intervention.
Nivvi
Well yeah, but stupid won't accept the facts

I remember trump come back on the bush fires recently. " it will get cooler " ?

Ever listened to Trump? They certainly bloody can. "One day, it's like a miracle, it'll all go back to normal!"
mcberg1337
1 hurricane with a dem pres. "God is punishing us!" All of 2020 with the gop "Trump will save us!"
Imbacktowork
The saddest part is that even politics who believe in climate change don't do anything about it.
VeryUniqueName
You underestimate peoples ability to ignore inconvenient truths.
stronomer
Science is not about "believing". It's about hypothesis testing and climate change has been tested a gazillion times: real, human made.
Draciusen
This. You can believe in a religion, but you either understand science or don't, and believe in the people who do. Or you can get out.
Draciusen
Correction: You have to trust the scientists even if you don't believe, because science's existence is not questionable except w/ science.
stronomer
You can even *challenge* scientists using the scientific method. And they'll be happy about that challenge!
3dartwork
For the first year in my life, I barely recall any hurricanes hitting the U.S. I recall 1. And there's been a lot?
adonovan0516
Well stop naming them!

More severe condition extremes. Colder cold.. hotter dry.. wetter wet.. faster winds

But also less vatiation, very long spring and autumn; loss of seasonal differences but a lot more anomalies and spikes
d3xprimary
Lmao in minnesota we had fall for like 2 weeks and then it snowed repeatedly
idontenglishsorry
I wouldnt mind sacrificing some lives for a 6 month long season of autumn each yer, if that means I have to live under extreme condition1/2
idontenglishsorry
the rest of the year, though
hugedandelion27
It's been the wettest year- from the standpoint of water
ColoneISanders
Yes, they need to put more emphasis on how these are more "extreme" than normal. People see a statement like above, "Massive hurricanes," /2
ColoneISanders
"typhoons, hail, tornados, flooding, fire, and droughts" their first reaction will be "Ok, that happens everywhere, it's weather/nature" 2/3
ColoneISanders
3/3 Scientists need to, unfortunately, word things so that there can be no mistake in the message.
Affablesea9917
I live in the Midwest and the weather yesterday was perfect. It's fucking November it should be cold and miserable outside.
hugedandelion27
Gonna be almost 80 in SE Ohio today and I am not a fan
eraevous
I have my windows open here in Chicago. We're 2 blocks from the Lake and should be freezing, but instead I'm quite comfortable. Shit's wild.
Affablesea9917
It's 4am and i just went outside to bring a plant in. I thought it was too cold for it. It feels like a summer night. I could sleep outside
Imhereforthelurking
It seems like such a lovely idea, doesnt it? But then, at intervals, we get those 90+ proto-tornado winds that did horrific damage all acros
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
Just moved to the Midwest, weather outside is reminiscent of fall back in the south. I am concerned
bookslap
It drives me crazy when weather forecasters talk about it as “beautiful” instead of “deeply worrying”
BungusAmungus
Seriously like wtf, were going on one week of weather in the 70's and sunny here in CNY. We should be covered in snow.
catsandcoke
They say it’s the End Times. They won’t accept science
GCVIKTOR390
For Christians whether climate change is real or not is irrelevant. God won't let the earth get destroyed until he's ready.
canadianreserve
The bible says God will bring to ruin those ruining the earth.
GravyEducation
Minnesota broke record snowfall in October, beating out over a few days the previous record, a blizzard on the 31st
aylienkitty88
I kid you not.. one of my coworkers tried to tell me that it was from a weather machine
unclesporky
Technically climate change is brought on by thousands/millions of man-made machines.
cptcr
stop naming them. i learned that logic this year
kurastwolf
One more and we’re out of backup names. Iota is the last on the list. I look forward to two more tropical storms just to see
ejkofusa
You think this is what people said just before the ice age?
kosherpork
USA plan: don't worry about climate change until we can profit off it. It will continue to get bad until someone finds a way to monetize fix
freshthrowaway1138
Why fix? As soon as it gets too hot, then refugees can be converted to slaves by northern/wealthy countries. USA Plan in nutshell.
nicouh
it already happend, stocks of green companies have been exploding for 2 yrs (tesla, plug power, Nel,...), its just not the 'right companies'
girlfartjapan
USA is a hard sus right now
macdogjake24
No that's not correct they already know how much it will cost insurance is skyrocketing cause they know what is what and leaving it till 1/2
macdogjake24
It's too late means government money will pay for tooling up business which will then take the profit.how many time I got to see it happen
RadicalLeftist
That was the trump administration. Obama signed the Paris accord and biden has a comprehensive plan to transition energy.
Mindshard
Here's the thing, they know. They also know they'll lose a couple percent on their stocks if they admit it.
Biocide669
I live in Minnesota, and wore a t-shirt and shorts when I walked the dog yesterday.
GravyEducation
And also we broke the record for snowfall in October, beating over about 2 days the Halloween blizzard
GravyEducation
And 6 inches is expected in the Twin Cities later today. Welcome to climate change
Biocide669
Right?!?
member42
We must also emphasise this is MAN-MADE Climate Change. Too many are falling back on this.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Well, the first international conference on climate change was in 1992. So, Americans have done a good job at ignoring stuff for 28 years.
SnowpersonHitInTheFaceWithALackOfCreativity
Makes you wonder how different it would be if Gore had been elected in 2000
MightyMegalodon
Gore was elected. SCOTUS ignored it and made the call instead. Smh
sykoticflaw
A lot better off than we are now.
GlebReawer
First study of GH-gasses was made 1859. https://history.aip.org/climate/co2.htm Yet time and time again anthro-climate change was denied.
indyliberal
Not all Americans. Conservatives / GOP Americans.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Nothing is "all Americans". But as a country you are *very* late to the party.
indyliberal
Held back by one party, with a full time propaganda network, and a base that thinks science is a liberal conspiracy.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
I don't think many Americans cared about global warming in the 90s. It increasingly became one sided later on.
FartyMcDumpstein
1) I remember back when I was in college and took a class on Poli-sci, one thing that was stressed was how slow US legislation moves
FartyMcDumpstein
2) compared to other modern democracies. It's not really a populace issue, but both the back and forth nature of 2 houses and 3 branches, as
FartyMcDumpstein
3) well as a very strong common law system compared to even the handful of others that practice common law (Canada/UK/Ireland/Aus/NZ)
CosplayComet
I imagine someone in their living room, siting there as water slowly rises up to their neck, climbing higher. "It's not HOT so it's fake."

Anywhere there is a hurricane living room.

Some recognize that the climate is changing, but refuse to believe that humans had any effect on it.
jimmyhowlett
Psh we've always had water, this is nothing new. - I'm so sick of that argument.

“My job is to represent the people of Pittsburgh, not the people of Paris” - Guess who said that about the Paris agreement
TheOriginalAmberRose
It's November 10th in Michigan and I have the door open at 2:00 am. It's been record breaking heat for over a week.
LeadLavaLamp
It's going to be 80 in Wayne County Mi, I'm going to wash my Camero in jean shorts
BrandomHouse
Minnesota had a blissful week of 70s, but our November 10th is balls cold with snow in the forecast
WateryTartan
same in ontario, got the AC cranked, it was 29C in my place yesterday.
Sinikko
I am from southwestern germany. I remember white christmas as a kid. Enough snow to sled. That was 20 years ago.1/2
Sinikko
Now if we get snow at all, it not more than 5mm abd lasts a day at most. There were several winters the last years without any snow
dcchillin46
80 in ohio/indiana on 11/10. But nah everything is fiiinnneeee
kiddk00l
Also it's supposed to be in the mid 40's by the weekend.
unclesporky
Trust science, trust trends, not individual anecdotes. In the past, people kept saying CC was false because "look I have a snowball lol."
harrisd613
I live in northern Ontario, Canada and same for us.
willyjohnfargo
Heat at the polls prolly caused it.
dohcohv
Record cold this week in NV, these claims about single days are the same shit Republicans use to deny climate change.
willyjohnfargo
Where is Al Gore when you need him.
TinyGreyWhale
November 10th in Atlantic Canada and I’m wearing a tshirt and no jacket going to work....20C today...had snow in October once though...
furnitureandeffects
Oh hey! Same here in Freddy (Fredericton NB). Same today, 18C this afternoon, sunny. Wtf man.
TinyGreyWhale
Bubble buddies!!
TinyGreyWhale
That’s 68 in freedom units according to google
MaximusPrime4444
And here in Sask., we went from sunny day, to 1 inch of ice rain and 1 foot of snow the next day
TrueNorthernLights
Can I ask where? It's only 9C on the Burin Peninsula.

Hey another bubble buddy!
instanoodles
I know I just had my snow tires put on I hate driving with them on when it is warm. My car will destroy them in the heat if I am not careful
kevinallover
I wore shorts and a tee shirt this weekend. It was nice, but it's not normal.
DanForArkansas
Eventually the fossil fuel lobbyists won’t be able to bribe politicians with enough $ to keep them in office while denying climate change.
whatisimgurallabout
I think our only real hope at this point is to get fusion working in the next few years, it would quickly collapse other forms of energy
kingoftribes
You underestimate how avarice the dominant society is
Tattr
Its not bribery. These guys never gave a fuck. The president had info on all of this for damn near 50 years. It wont affect them lol.
LookaSquirrelbus
But have you tried viagra?
Silnt39
Remember that point in the day after tomorrow at the climate summit in India and its snowing but they're all like "nah u crazy"..yah
Malikhi
According to science we'll experience a large scale near extinction event before that eventually occurs
DeviousWay
Most agree it’s happening. Their propaganda switched from “no global warming” to “it’s natural! Not man-made”
culinarydream7224
Or that there's nothing we can do about it
7billion
What I don't get
7billion
Is how making the environment better is bad , considering that is what keeps us alive
7billion
There will be no economy when we have polluted and killed everything, yay more money/s
CptRobotNinja
Yeah about the time Ney York goes in the drink they should come around
Syzygy77
It's already too late. Fermi is here.
MrHerpertDerpington
You underestimate the power of greed.
Selekta
Eventually there won’t be any more fossil fuels left, or everyone will be dead, either way an accurate statement...
jrabbitmusic
I hope you’re right but you underestimate ‘don’t give a fuck’ America, they will swallow whatever a dude w/ an R next to his name tells them
schocker28
Yes global warming is just America's fault. Not like there are larger countries with even less restrictions with no regard to anything.
HaydukeLivesGoddamnit
God forbid, the US acts like the exceptional country it pretends to be and set an example.
CygloPargen
Unfortunately, establishment D's are not doing even close to enough either.
dragonsluvtacos
Not all of us goddammit. Some of us actually do give a fuck.
AnimalGenetaliaAudioClues
Love the optimism.
putcleverusernamehere
As long as there are lobbyists, politicians and money, nothing will change. It has nothing to do with evidence.
Apollymkatistrafia
I like the hope, but remain skeptical. Unless we are putting them all under microscopes constantly, this may not be the case.
devilshire52
And it will be too late
ImgurMadeMeChangeMyNameCauseItsDumb
And they will suffer no consequences
AlkeneThiol
Don't worry. We will be grabbing ice from comets futurama-style soon enough. Prophylaxis isn't a strong part of human nature

This ^
Kodaxmax
was too late a decade ago, without a significant breakthrough in technology, it's just damage control from here on
Kodaxmax
well actually there is another guaranteed solution. Banning/ restricting having kids for quite a while and deciding a pop limit. has its own
Kodaxmax
has its own issues though
Barimax
Will be? Damn near already is.
jellyonrooster
Its been too late we are just catching up on last months overdue bill next comes the eviction notice
eleonorae
It is not too late for everyone, but it is too late for some. I wouldn't move to a low-lying island nation anytime soon...
Ghostlogicz
Nah we could still fix it , it would just shatter our society and require ppl to sacrifice ... so nvm guess we can’t cause ppl never will
CirB
Not really: we would need to re-organize large part of our current lives, yes, but it can actually be done without undue human suffering (1)
Photeus
People won't wear masks because they 'need' a haircut. They won't act unless they are literally on fire from the outdoor heat.
erroniousmaximus
The problem with that metric is, it’s well possible that we reach the PNR before those two curves cross, if we haven’t already.
DrInkDrinker
They can and they will.
lemonyfresh108
And luckily renewables are now out competing economically
dfsmitty0711
I admire your optimism.

don't kid your self it is about bribed politicians. look around and see that half of the nation is willing to deny existence of covid.

Fossil fuel is but the tiniest of fractions of impact on our climate. Do more research. It exists, but fossil fuel isn’t it.

Always the same “do more research!” Never any real reputable sources to back up your claims

You are entirely wrong. Like, it even a little wrong, but fully and completely wrong.

I live in a oil state. I never experienced earthquakes growing up until they started and continued fracking. ?
Dragonsarebiglizards
There's quite a few fossil fuel companies investing in green energy that should be enough to tell you the writing is on the wall
CommentBot3000
Too bad they all spent the last 30 years denying climate change, spending billions to affect regulations in their favor.
