MAGA Is Crying DEI Over the California Fires to Cover For Their Climate Change Denialism

The same kind of climate change that has not only increased the likelihood of more such disasters, but disasters like the marked increase in tornadoes and hurricanes like those that struck the midwest, Florida, and NC, the kind of extreme weather (hot or cold) that kicks the azz of Texas' slipshod powergrid, and even the frigid polar vortexes gripping the nation now.

(To which some dumb fk always asks, "if it's getting hotter how can it be so cold?" as if either extremes in weather couldn't possibly be two sides of the same coin.)

I'd recently seen climatologist Michael E Mann on The Weather Channel, who explained phenomenon like "fire weather" (climatic conditions ripe for wildfires) and other (documented) evidence in shifts and changes to our climate, that explain in large part what we are and will be facing:

But hey, America, why listen to climatologists and scientists who are trying to warn us of the dangers of willful and obstinately rank IGNORANCE and denialism of DOCUMENTED climate change,

when one can listen INSTEAD, to hate peddling bullshit from billionaire bstrds, con-men, and hucksters like Trump, Musk & Co. who continue to blow smoke up America's bum with their usual lies, divisive distractions, and "alternate realities"??

Fellow Americans.

They seem to revel in hate, venom, and someone else's misery.

"Do this in memory of me."

Certainly not I. Nor many others, I'd suspect. In fact, I'd suspect there are far fewer "leftists" celebrating California's fires than MAGAS doing likewise.

there are those (left and right) who like to attribute 'sht happening' to 'God's wrath.' But only when it happens to someone else.

Go figure.
