Wonder If These ignorant Southern GOPPERS Get Global Warming Yet.

[TheMastersNemesis]

A lot of the South is being drowned or trashed out by extreme weather almost every day or at least weekly. Huge rains and multiple tornadoes, extreme hail. They might as well get used to it because it is probably to late to slow down global warming.

The weather in certain parts of the country look super extreme. It just seems like there are so many tornadoes and torrential rains that are now far too often. And I hear people down there talking about it being God's will.

I wonder if many of them still want to secede after the get their federal FEMA and disaster money. We need to help them but they seem just as hateful than ever about the federal government and its fictional need to control them.

1. Nope.

2. And these days they don't even cover it on Cable channels

Ah well!!

3. NBC, ABC & CBS News Are Covering It.

At least the original networks are covering it. However, even now globaL warming is being discounted. Weather around the world is very extreme in some areas and THAT is not being covered. One glaring example is the severe drought in Venezuela where they are running out of water.

4. Guyana has a serious drought as well

Looks that that is about to change

Venezuela's other problem is that there is no water to power the hydro-electric plants.

6. Yes, I Forgot About That Part Of Their Problem.

Add low oil prices as well. Though not weather related.

5. No, they don't and never will

At least half of them are longing for the apocalypse as predicted in the Book of Revelation. The rest think it's a plot by the evil Gub'mt to kill Christians by spreading poisons via chemtrails in the sky. Unless you've actually experienced it, you wouldn't believe the ignorance and hate coupled with arrogance and sense of entitlement.

7. It's Like Being Delusional, Deranged Or Both.

8. These climate denial maps, based on different studies,

show the dispersion of climate deniers is very wide. Not all willfully stupid people live in the South.

Population:


Climate deniers elected to Congress:


This map below shows the states that have received the most federal disaster aid. They're all farm states and they all elect climate deniers to Congress. Most are heavily white Protestant, btw.


This is an interesting one. It's where members of the "Republican Study Committee" caucus live. This caucus promotes all the Koch-type interests most of us here oppose, including of course fighting any climate change policy that might block their ability to do anything they want. They work very hard for really anything that will promote maximal profiteering and wealth accumulation now and in future. They're also one of the many nexuses between conservative religion and big business.
