Change My Mind

i think it's the other way around
if you didnt blame politicians for sandy, but now blame them for texas, you've been un-brainwashed.

it's just hard for me to imagine brainwashing where the object is to make us demand more responsibility from our leaders, instead of being subservient to their interests.

Dude, you can't politicians for once in a generation weather events. To suggest otherwise is absurd.

youre right. politicians have no way to mitigate the effects of severe weather that keeps happening at an increasing rate. nothing they can do except go on holiday or say the weak will perish.

That's the thing, they absolutely do not have a way to mitigate climate change, which has been happening for millenia. However, they can certainly brainwash you into believing they do in attempt to gain more control over your life and pocketbook.

But don't take my word for it... Here, enjoy 50 years of failed climate change predictions.

i mean, climate change is real and failed predictions over the course of 50 years dont disprove it, but even if you didnt believe in it, the effects air pollution has on people is enough for me to say down with fossil fuels. i fundamentally disagree with your apparent disregard for human life, but thats not what im talking about. im talking about mitigating the current situation. for example, aoc raised 1 million dollars to help texas, and beto o'rourke has been making calls and helping people.

Governments around the world have said they have weather weapons.
Did they cause the snow and ice? Maybe, no way to tell.
