Dangit! it cuts off at the best part
Because anecdotal evidence is a poor proxy for real data, and every single damn prediction of “Florida will be underwater by X year” or “there will be no more arctic sea ice by Y year” has been wrong every time. It exposes the grift that it’s all one big alarmist campaign for more control, no more combustion engines and international flights for you, as they take their private jets to their international climate meetings. They want to force energy usage and CO2 production down by any means necessary, causing far more economic damage than climate change ever could. It’s the poor people that get hit hardest, the ones that can’t afford solar panels or electric cars, the elderly folk who can’t afford their rising heating bills. The data is clear that as people get richer, they care more about their environment. You can’t convince people to stay poor because using more energy is worse for the environment. And amidst more people freezing to death in the dead of winter than ever, the UK is seriously investigating cloud-seeding to reflect more sunlight away from Earth.The planet truly is doomed it's so fucking hot everywhere
I have no clue how people see the rise in temperatures and are like "global warming isn't real"
God damn you climate change denialists will keep your heads under the sand till everyone is dead.Because anecdotal evidence is a poor proxy for real data, and every single damn prediction of “Florida will be underwater by X year” or “there will be no more arctic sea ice by Y year” has been wrong every time.

Bjorn Lombarg has done the analyses on this. If your aim is to minimise human suffering into the future, every dollar spent on climate change would be far better spent eradicating tropical diseases. Climate change is likely to be a hurdle, but it’s nowhere near catastrophic.
