Welcome to global climate change morAns.

[MoonRiver]

We, the rational minority, tried to tell you Neanderthals that it was coming, and it would look like it does right now: stronger, more intense storms, including hurricanes and tornadoes, massive flooding, blizzards, destruction of habitats for animals and humans. But noooooo, you just knew it was all a left wing conspiracy.

So, you bottom feeders, I hope you will learn to love a little Level 5 tornado with your morning joe. Maybe you can become dare devil storm chasers and make a name for your sorry selves. Better than the basement, eh.

Will you wake up soon enough to stop the horror about to descend full time on this planet? I doubt it. It is probably already too late. :(

1. It's an insanity

Instead of just accepting the science for what it is and doing something about it... they... they just fucking decide the science is not real and instead it's all a sign their fairy tale in the sky is unhappy. They really are fucking crazy.

[Motown_Johnny]

3. We have so much coal that to admit burning stuff like coal is bad

is something they just won't ever do.

[MoonRiver]

5. Yep, that would be unacceptable.

Better to die en masse from natural disasters. :crazy:

[Mojeoux]

13. They attribute the bad weather to the "end times!"

So why should they bother, they figure.

[MoonRiver]

16. Ding, ding, ding!

They WANT anything that brings human beings down. :wow: I get it now. :wow:

[stuntcat]

15. yes.

what you said.

[Motown_Johnny]

2. Please add "Blizzards" to that list,

because they always claim that an extreme blizzard is proof that climate change isn't real.

[MoonRiver]

4. Actually I should change it to global weather change.

Warming is a misnomer. Hope I still have time.

[Capitalocracy]

9. It's not a misnomer, it just refers to cause rather than effect.

The cause of the extreme weather is the ocean warming due to the effect of pollution. The effect is the extreme weather, which can include blizzards. Right-wingers have never had a very solid grasp of cause and effect, though.

[MoonRiver]

10. True,

but we got to keep it simple for stupid.

[Motown_Johnny]

11. I prefer "Climate Change" but not enough to argue about it

[Raine]

6. It's obvious to anyone with intelligence

that this due to global climate change. The key here is having INTELLIGENCE.

[onethatcares]

7. today at work one of the nut cases was telling me about his vacation

this week previous in Ohio. Blah, blah, blah, blah, until he began telling me about the storm in his rear view mirror
when he passed into Georgia. Said the rain was hellish and visibility was nil. I just had to bring up the tornados in
Missouri and give a rundown of my thoughts. All of a sudden, he remembered that I'm the total liberal that believes shit
like global warming, climate change, and that carbon in the atmosphere throws the balance out of whack. Then he walked away.

Thankfully, todays St. Pete Times had an op ed about the very thing I was stating, the droughts, the floods, the wildfires in
Texas, the crop failures in Russia, the mega floods in Pakistan, the rain forest drought, the record snow levels in the U.S. of A.

I just had to cut it out and give it to him. Hopefully he reads it. But I left him with the thought, "If we don't take care of
this business now, our grandkids are gonna hate us".

He had gone to Ohio to see his grandsons graduation.

[MoonRiver]

8. Reality will hit these idiots eventually, the hard way.

Then they'll be screaming why didn't the Democrats do something sooner!

[SpiralHawk]

12. RepubliCorp (R) hates reality -- and pays media propagandists to lie

Republicon SuckerPuppets lap up the lies and propaganda, and prevent honorable people from taking action. A sick cycle.

[Ikonoklast]

27. And Ohio has had the wettest April since records have been kept.

Looks like May isn't that far behind.

Seems like the warmer Gulf of Mexico will be pumping more water into the atmosphere and it's falling here.

More snow in winter coming up the Mississippi river valley for the same reason.

[OhioChick]

30. We sure have....

Just had some bad storms/hail that just went through. It looks like more on the way for the next few days.

[The Wielding Truth]

14. Why are they so willing to suspend facts and probability and believe in

loony predictions of the end of the world. They will go to the death to defend the very wealthy from paying according to their profitability. They insist that wealthy need not share the cost of maintenance for using our infrastructure and the security of our still stable country.They take the ravings of Beck and Limbaugh to heart, while they disgust the rest of us. They are so forgetful that they don't remember on whose watch 9-11 happened and how we were lied and frightened into obliterating Iraq.

Is it a mental deficiency that makes them buy lies and cast off what they see happening in front of them?They are now being sold the bill of goods that suspending Social Security will help the economy.
Logic could tell them the unworthiness of this, but they don't seem to call on history or reason to find solutions.

Any thought at all about global weather change would lead a thinking person to lean in the direction of cleaning our environment for our own comfort and survivability.Keeping a balanced unpolluted earth just so happens to reduce the causes of global warming. Duh. Who could or would fight against a healthy planet?

[MoonRiver]

17. It is totally unfathomable, to me at least. n/t

[stuntcat]

39. "Any thought at all about.."

That's so true, how you said it.

It reminds me of those youtube videos that man made, weighing the results of action or inaction. It's simple- whether the scientists are right or not, we need to change. Everyone stop arguing, pause that BS for a decade and just clean up. Fast.

[The Wielding Truth]

42. Yep. Just clean it up!

[michunionman]

18. I believe in global climate change but

There were storms like this years ago and i just feel that it doesnt quite allow this to be complete proof but then again idk much about the subject lol

[MoonRiver]

19. There's so much more.

The ice caps are melting at unprecedented rates. Animals in those regions are losing their habitats. If this was happening normally, the animals would have time to evolve and change. That is not the case at this point in time. Global climate change is a horrifying reality.

[pintobean]

20. The true believers

will claim that anything other than normal is due to global warming. The constant over-hyping destroys their credibility. This is the 3rd time today that I've posted this graph.

[MoonRiver]

21. The problem is that if there is an end to human beings,

it will be brought about by the greedy corporations, the Repukelicans who do their bidding, and the idiots in this country who buy into the bull shit of both.

[pintobean]

24. I don't understand your reply.

Can you clarify what you're trying to say? Is the graph bullshit?

[MoonRiver]

35. I don't have a graph.

I just think that global climate change is happening because of human greed and stupidity.

[pintobean]

37. Well, you're

using electricity. Aren't you part of the problem?

[stuntcat]

28. wrong place

sry

[Fumesucker]

22. Did you post it before or after you took cover from the tornadoes?

:hi:

I'm glad you're OK...

[pintobean]

26. Both, and thanks.

Actually, I didn't have to take cover. The grade A large hail beat the shit out of our vehicles, though. I'll check the roof tomorrow.

More waves on the way.

[xmas74]

29. So you didn't get hit too bad on the other side of the state,

except for hail? Glad to hear that.

FYI-it's coming down heavy now and sounds like it's getting worse in my area. My backyard looks like the MO River now-brown and dirty. You should get it in a few hours.

[pintobean]

34. There were a few small tornadoes in the area

but they weren't on the ground long and didn't do a lot of damage. Glad you're OK, too. The regional radar looked like a hurricane moving across the state.

[xmas74]

40. I think the main damage was to Sedalia, though

I heard Louisberg,KS had some damage.

The radar looked horrible and it just seemed to stall for a few hours over my area. It wasn't a good day.

[stuntcat]

31. almost all the scientists in the world disagree with you.

truly I wish you to be right. Truly.

But my heart is with all the animals that humans are wiping out. So for me the non-scientists' old Is-The-Weather-Changing-Or-Not? argument seems sillier every year compared to how bad we're raping the planet. I hope you're right about this part of it, seriously, I wish.

(also the headline that goes with that graph says "warmer temps mean fewer tornadoes" so does posting it mean you agree there are warmer temps?)

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

44. Pointing to individual storms is just silly

As silly as the idiots who see a blizzard and say "Hey Al Gore, how 'bout that global warming!".

There are better arguments to be made on climate change, the weather is essentially anecdotal because it's the easiest thing for laymen to point to.

[WatsonT]

33. You don't see a clear upward trend there?

Clearly we are living in the end of days. Clearly.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

43. Clearly, the world should have ended in 1973.

[SusanaMontana41]

23. That's it. All that water vapor is fueling these storms.

No satisfaction in saying, "We told you so," is there?

Godspeed to the storm victims everywhere and their families.

[Riftaxe]

25. How is the logic of your post

any different then the boobs who point to a large snowstorm as proof there is no global warming?

[SusanaMontana41]

38. Because the boobs who say snowstorms = no global warming

don't understand that a warmer Earth sends more moisture upward. That moisture can come down in any form of precipitation — snow, rain, tornadoes, hurricanes. How all that moisture comes down doesn't matter. How it gets into the atmosphere does matter.

[GKirk]

32. One spring's bad weather doesn't

prove anything.

[BOG PERSON]

36. maybe bad weather isn't proof of climate change

and maybe bad weather isn't proof God is mad at us for striking down anti-sodomy laws

maybe the truth is somewhere in middle?

[NMDemDist2]

41. no chit!! we haven't had a drop of rain since last September

remember those wonderful Pecos cantaloupes? forget them this year.......
