Anyone that believes in hurricane machines isn't living in reality

They quickly swallowed the "Haitians are eating cats" line, I'm very curious if "democratic weather machines" will also be widely accepted.

A few days ago, someone posted the physics equation that shows how much energy is added to the atmosphere for each degree of warming. Then they did the math. It came out that the equivalent of 250 times the annual US energy consumption is added to the system for EACH degree, the average temp raises. This blew my mind!

The gotcha is that water stores a ton more energy than air and it it sits on the surface of the ocean and brews and brews until its too late.

Let's not forget to include the Christian fundamentalists praying for the Rapture among the guilty.

I just made this very comment on another post. Fossil fuel companies and the billionaires that profit from them are behind Project 2025 too

Good news is that Atlantic hurricanes have been happening for thousands of years long before carbon emission driven climate change came around. The hurricane machine is Earth and yes our human activity makes it worse.
Time for the bad news.
Climate change is going to get worse there's likely nothing we can do about it at this point we are only going to be able to deal with it as best we can millions of people would to be displaced and millions of others will die.

Reminds me of the heat wave that happened last year. A whole bunch of cows ended up dying of heat stroke in the Midwest, and MTG demanded to know why "no one was trying to figure out why it happened."

In May, it was predicted that we would have more hurricanes than normal - 17 to 25 named storms, 8 to 13 hurricanes. That was based on the warm water of the Gulf and Atlantic.
In August, this was revised to 17 to 24 names storms, of which 8 to 13 were hurricanes and 4 to 7 were major hurricanes.
Prior to September, it was looking like a relatively slow season. Not anymore.
To date, we have had 13 named storms, 9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.
We still have almost two months to go - and October is one of the busier months.

We’ve been warning people about this for decades. We said exactly this would happen. More storms. Stronger storms. Less time to recover between them.

I 💯 believe their brains can’t comprehend that God would hurt them so they assume the ones responsible has to be God disbelieving Democrats

For anyone interested, here's a safe Discord server to discuss and organize around issues like climate change and disinformation: https://discord.gg/BkF59RCzNb

The people who bear responsibility are the fossil fuel co's + the politicians they buy.
That's a great message when your goal is to make establishment democrats blameless for being completely inadequate when it comes to climate change for decades.
Fitting from the person who got elected supporting The Green New Deal (an idea that originated in the Green Party which she now bashes) that's now supporting a candidate in Harris who has bragged about how fossil fuel production has increased every time she talked about climate change on the campaign trail, and flip-flopped on the Green New Deal.

And AOC is responsible for genocide denial and is in AIPAC's pocket. She's not wrong in the tweet but fuck this sell out. All she does is pander.
