I was told that we'd have no snow after the new year due to climate change.
All schools closed due to snow.
🇳🇱
@SecondJon told by who? No scientist made such a claim and would not despite climate change being real.. or was that sarcasm?
Huh? What does politics have to do with Climate Change. Yea the democrats are idiots and do a shitty job at addressing it, no surprise, yea, they cant even do their elections right, also true.. but not relevant. By the way same can be said of the GOP's incompetence and their handling of climate change has been even worse than the democrats. So it really just means most politicians do a shitty job, irrelevant but true.
Climate change is being used by politicians to build hysteria around the concept then tap into the fear of the population to achieve their political goals, which are usually more money and power for the politicians..
I respect that you believe in the evidence for man caused climate change. It's possible. But as with most things in life, I'm fearful that a government solution will be worse than the problem
@freemo
My toot was primarily a somewhat sarcastic critique of that kind of overly specific, easily disproven prediction that frequently get made to rally/alarm the public,and draw a contrast between that and reality.
(There was an article I saw shared on the fediverse toward the end of 2019 with that claim, though I haven't been able to find it on checking briefly today.)
@SecondJon Well news media isnt helping any with their click baity stories. While the truth is that climate change **is** very real and very serious no one would ever make a claim like "It is impossible for it to snow after new years according to science", obviously.
@freemo
I think many people would make that kind of claim. I think they shouldn't.
@SecondJon well people are idiots...
@freemo @SecondJon
That's why it's called " #climatechange " now @SecondJon
No matter what happens, they're right, and only giving more of your tax dollars (to the same people who can't even run their own caucus in Iowa) can save us
