You may test that assumption at your convinience.

Semi related... I'm currently under a tornado watch.

Quebec DOES get tornadoes, but there's never been one this close to the river before, that I know of.

I feel it. I'm cooking down here. My AC is working at full power but it is only physically capable of lowering the temperature by so many degrees. This heat is beyond mitigation.

At what point do the deniers realize that they've been lied to and that we're in serious trouble? How many summers of this is it going to take?

How was Asheville North Carolina swamped by a hurricane despite being hundreds of kilometres from the sea? Simple: that water was not sea water. It was rain.

The storm was carrying such a vast amount of moisture when it came barreling inland that it dumped entire lakes worth of rain when it collided with the Appalachian mountains.

Why is this being blamed on global warming, you ask? Again, simple: warm ocean waters give both energy and moisture to tropical storms, and the air itself is also unseasonably warm, which means it can hold more moisture than normal. The amount of moisture that the air can hold is directly correlated to its temperature, and hurricanes are directly linked to warmth: that's why there is no winter hurricane season.

Our (allegedly) Labour prime minister wrote an op-ed for a right-wing tabloid the other day basically leaning into climate change denial and framing decarbonisation of the economy as a form of anti-jobs Ludditism.

Great future we have here.

(Yes, the ‘Labour’ government we have now is actually more right-wing than the Tory government that got booted out of office back in July.)

Good news! You don’t have to. All you have to do is put the onus on industry to clean up after themselves and streamline production using renewables.

They’re going to complain but hey, if history has taught us anything — it’s that nothing worth pursuing is easy.

The fact that MTG thinks there's a weather control machine means that even she can tell this weather is not normal, despite decades of right-wing propaganda saying this is just one of Nature's regular cycles. She just doesn't know where to go next with that revelation, because she's an idiot.

It's more that she doesn't want to go anywhere else with that revelation, because getting angry over nothing is far easier than actually learning what she should be angry at. She's not just stupid, she's also lazy.

Anger and fear are the only tools MAGA Republicans know how to use. It's not about coming up with solutions, it's about whipping their base into a frenzy so they can stay in power. MTG, to the NORMAL person, is an idiot, but to her base she's 'just telling it like it is'..... Being fed a diet of Fox News, Newmax and OAN damages the brain.(currently working at a local cable provider/isp and the number of people who throw a huge fit when Newsmax goes out claiming we are doing it n purpose is way higher than it should be for a group that prides themselves on 'common sense' and supposed rationality)
