  1. the narrative that mankind can control the earth situation is laughable

  2. Still, people won't take notice. Until they have nothing to drink.

  3. Keep denying reality. When 30% of USA wont be livable anymore, when hundred of thousands of american refugees will mass at Canada's border, we will remember how you threated Mexican, and you will be treated the same.

  4. Americans like presidents that don't throw rolls of paper towel at natural disaster victims.

  5. For 200 years they told us climate change was a figment of our imagination and now they want to tell us there's too late to do anything about it so why even try

  6. When you vote for 🧠 dead Republicans that don't believe in climate change this is what happens!! Get out and vote for people that have your best interest, not the ones that are loading their pockets!πŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŒ€πŸŒ€πŸŒ€πŸŒ€πŸŒ€πŸŒ€

  7. The rainy grey windy days of New England will be back soon enough.

  8. Maine has noticed this for years. Thanks for lookin around tho

  9. I’m in South Louisiana, it’s been one wet August, and still raining…

  10. The retroactive benefit is not any good to a farmer who is no longer a farmer.
    The closing of a farm and liquidation of all its assets can happen way faster before Congress cuts a check.
    Plus what if the Republicans take the House and Congress. Sleepy Joe does not get re-elected, than what?
    I seriously doubt they will put a blue state ahead of the line because a blue state filed faster.
    Besides all indications show the earth is heating up and glaciers are melting. We are not cooling down. We are accelerating the intensity of the heat.
    In bound land drying up and coastal lands under water, swing storms everywhere else. Filing first is not going to take precedence over who is suffering the most.

    Economic Disaster Loan…don’t forget the interest on that loan is higher today and likely to be higher tomorrow.
    I think this is what a decline of our economy looks like. So far unaffected by all climate disasters thus far, are the Super Rich. They can move around, farmers and communities cannot pick up and go. They have ways to escape the disaster. Humanity is stuck in place.

  11. Where was the planning and efforts to prepare for these droughts during the last administration? Who one votes for matters!

  12. Yeah n those chem trails don’t have nothing to do with it, right msnbc?

  13. It will get worse until 2026, then just level off for a few years, then get worse again, in eternity.

  14. Oh don't be silly! Stop scaring the lay public just to sensationalize your stories!

  15. Climate change, what about the ice cores
    .

  16. Stop driving internal combustion vehicles!

  17. A diminishing molecular oxygen atmosphere is allowing more ultraviolet energy to reach the Earth's surface where it becomes light and then heat.

  18. Where I am, its Barely Raining, and I am on a Peninsula with the Ocean less than 1/2 mile on each side! However, it gets Foggy, and when its a Heavy Fog, all Night, the Leaves Start Dripping Rain, like a Rain Forest, it's pretty neat, if its really Foggy, and you are up Late Enough, and nothing is on inside, and the Windows Open, you'll say hey, why is it raining, weather says there's a 2% Chance, than you notice its only Lightly Raining in the Woods, and its the Fog Condensating on the Leaves!

  19. It doesn't help that our water consumption is insane. We waste so much water in the pursuit of perfect lawns or golf courses, for instance. Couple that with climate change and we're in a real mess.

  20. The house is on fire and yet everyone still insists we have BBQ for dinner

  21. Keep building car dependent communities

  22. "The situation is so diar that we called in Post10 to fix it"

  23. ALL CHRISTIANS COUNTRIES MUST SEND MILITARY & ECONOMIC AIDS TO PALESTINIANS TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST OCCUPATION FORCE OF ISRAEL. SAVE COUNTRY OF JESUS CHRIST & ITS PEOPLE'S WAKE UP CHRISTIANS WAKE BETHLEHEM IS IN PALESTINE NOT IN ROME

  24. GOSPELS OF BARNABAS IS ORIGINAL HOLY BOOK OF JESUS CHRIST.MESSAGES
