      Yup. People really underestimate how far they are willing to take shit. We are talking about the group that didn’t want to admit covid was real, and didn’t want to take the vaccine, so they compromised and took horse medication that was causing them to shit out the lining of their intestines.

      Denying the weather will be easy for them

    Let’s just go to Heritage.orgpublished just yesterday:

    Well, there’s weather and there’s climate change, and climate change is measured over very long periods of time, so a hot summer does not necessarily mean there’s climate change. And there are all kinds of other issues coming up with how we measure it, how the oceans affect global temperatures, how the clouds affect temperatures, how the sun affects temperatures, and climate change has been going on for millennia. I certainly don’t think that we’re headed towards a catastrophe, and if we are facing warming of 1.52 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, the question is what to do about it.

    Is that an acknowledgement of the climate crisis? No, it is not.

    The stubbornness of stupidity is impervious to facts, no matter how obvious the facts are. This won’t change anything in the minds of the people who already don’t think it’s real.

    Lobsters also probably love the tan they get, and how nicely relaxed their muscles feel while they’re at their hot tub.

    “no one” is a big challenge … the ones who are on the fence could be reasoned with, and then we have those who are extremely stubborn who cannot change until it affects them directly. And those who use denial to gain power will likely continue to do so …

        Right, there are those too. I guess the point is, “no one” is practically impossible. Complete public perception of climate change should not be the ultimate goal, it’s just not realistic.
