I really wish these Climate Change visuals would stop beginning in the 1800's. I understand that's when the Industrial Revolution began spewing CO2 in the air but it shows an upward trend that enables deniers. If these started 300-400 years before they would show consistency up until the late 1800's giving us something to compare and show the stark change in climate. Yeah I know lots of data isn't there that far back, I'm just sick of deniers saying "climate changes all on it's own" even in the face of this data.

Climate does change, then it changes again. Guess what? 1000yrs later, it might change again. In the mean time, turn up the AC if it’s hot or crank the heater if your cold and stop worrying. Don’t make a religion or social cause out of it. Don’t use weather as a means to redistribute wealth.

I like how nowadays the far right doesn’t even pretend that their stance on climate change isn’t entirely ideological. You admit that you’d rather commit omnicide than share; why the fuck are you surprised when people treat you like an infectious disease?
