Re: Republicans and Global Warming

[TheFarseer]

I was thinking, a lot of the craziest Republicans think we are in the end times. None of them believe in man made Global Warming yet the evidence is all around us. Is it possible they see the maga droughts, the record temperatures, the melting glaciers, only they think this is Jesus coming back, and they welcome it?

1. That is exactly the response I get from the religious nuts in my family.

They immediately have a "Yeah, it getting warmer but it's not the end of the world" or "The climate has always changed" or are so against anything that they perceive to be "liberal" that they immediately just clam up and act like "Jesus will take care of it".

The end is coming stuff drives me wild and they don't say it to me but I see them post stuff like that constantly.

2. Reminds me of the joke about the 2 Jewish and Christian guys arguing over the messiah

Whether it would be the first or second coming of Christ. One guy says, “well when the Messiah gets here, just ask him if he’s been here before”.

3. Lemmings. Religion demands it.

4. "The climate has always changed"

This one is easily dismissed by calling out the corresponding logical fallacy:

5. Why not challenge them to sit for 24 hours at the edge of a glacier?

If they fall in, Darwin award. If not $1,000 bucks. That's 24 hours straight.
