Yup. Delay, obfuscate, and pretty soon we’re not debating the issue, but instead debating on whether or not we should even be debating the issue. Then it’s onto the next issue. It’s a disgusting practice.

If you can’t change the stubborn denialer’s mind, why work so hard to be more sensitive to them?

First of all, judging reactions on Facebook only speaks about what kind of friends you have, not people in general. Second, you’re not going to see it in the spurts you will see things about wildfires and hurricanes because they are short-lived events and people post about those when they happen. Climate change is a…

Not surprising, the same happens when we try to talk about gun control after a mass shooting. The republicans use that insensitive stuff as an excuse to avoid the issue at hand.

Saying discussing Climate Change is insensitive to hurricane victims is like saying that discussing campfire bans and fines for cigarette flickers is insensitive to forest fire victims.

Yes, I did. Storms and wildfires directly and immediately affect lives. People are going to respond stronger to that than long term dangers.

I see a lot of stuff coming out that makes a big deal about climate change when disaster strikes, but they’re generally silent when it comes to things like mass ecosystem collapse, dying coral reefs, and the dwindling of oxygen producing microbes.

Harvey and Irma are weather.

It’s like guns... if you’re afraid to even collect the basic data, then you must have some idea the data is going to show your side is wrong.

As a (shitty) doctor once told me when I reported a patient’s high blood pressure reading: “He wouldn’t have high blood pressure if you didn’t insist on checking it.”

So long as the data doesn’t exist the problem doesn’t exist. How very mature of them.

Yes, because even just collecting data on this topic is bad. Forget analyzing it or proposing changes, even HAVING it would be disastrous. This should come as no surprise from people who are relentlessly anti - education. The less information, the better.

I would say that the whining would be from the non-hipsters, blaming this on “hipster culture” or something.

My Grandfather spent his youth in North Africa and Europe killing nazis. I’m glad he didn’t live to see us elect one as president.

Working with people less competent and more highly paid is annoying enough for women...

A few drunk kids with a can of paint could cause that havoc today, without autonomous cars. What’s the difference?

Hell, most human drivers don’t duplicate it.

That’s one Tesla owner who managed to keep his head.

Nonsense. The claddig was put on so that nearby luxury apartment owners wouldn’t have sore eyes from starting at the unit buildings the poors lived in:

They are just making building fires great again.
