Climate change is real. Just accept it.

[Darkweather]

My grandchildren will despise me because weather happened? Do you hear yourself? What the fuck can I do about the weather?

This is the level of discourse that not only explains why your side lost the election, but why average people can’t take you seriously. BTW…”get used to it”…that’s the point! We will adjust to whatever comes down the pike. Just like we as a species have always done.

Get used to it.

They will despise you as part of the generation that sat around arguing about whether climate change is real or not and which political party is to blame

Assumption. "my side"??? Fortunately I don't have a side in that shitfest.

...and you aren't paying attention are you. It will get beyond adaptability.

"We don't have to worry about climate change because God made a rainbow after the flood, promising never to do it again."

Someone actually told me that.

Oh, and I'll never forget:

"In not worried about climate change because the rapture is coming."

Nobody is arguing whether it’s “real” or not! For fucks sake! The climate is in constant flux. One side is most definitely trying to capitalize on that fact. I’ve been paying attention for a long time. I’ve seen the goal posts moved time and time again by one side…all the time demanding more and more money and concessions from the other side.

I’m going to tell you a little secret….make sure you don’t tell anyone else. The time of it getting “beyond adaptability”…wont happen in our lifetimes…nor our children’s…nor our grandchildren’s nor their grandchildren’s, or their children’s children….yer gonna be just fine.

This is easier to understand and accept if you recognize your own mortality in the first place. We're all gonna die.

The question that is already answered is whether humans can alter the climate. We already have. To what amount that change leads to a climate we can adapt to or not is debatable as well as what changes that we make will impact that glide path enough to adjust properly.

"Just accept it" is exactly the kind of argument religious zealots think is convincing.

Like to add a statement about how this makes sense to you?

And what is your point in this pearl of wisdom? Do you have suggestions on whether or not we should attempt to ameliorate the effect of what and how we screw around with the climate?

Your terminology suggests climate change is some religious experience rather than a scientifically based concern.

The pattern of dry winters followed by wet winters is not new.

The pattern of dry winters followed by wet winters is not new.

Understand that's part of the analysis. Data supported.

Now about the fires and preventative measures. Are we so naive as to think one administration is to blame for California wildfires? Or is this the recognition that we are in an intensive period of firestorms that should require more due diligence in ameliorating those conditions rather than backstabbing political parties?

 

[Rightguide]

Climate change drove the LA fires.

Yes, the climate changes four times a year as it has for 4 billion years of evolution. Nothing we can do will change that fact.

What caused the fires was human inaction.

The seasons are not the same thing as the climate.

 

[Rightguide]

The seasons are not the same thing as the climate.

The climate changes with each season.

 

[ll74]

The climate changes with each season.

Seasonal changes are part of climate changes. Climate refers to a much longer duration and refers to trends over years and decades and centuries

Nothing, but you can do something about climate.

No. As I’ve stated in previous posts, the incompetence resides at the city, county and state level and goes back decades. SoCal (and other parts of the state have experienced many terrible wildfires. This is the worst because there are concurrent fires burning. It’s not like nobody could have anticipated this.

Climate change:

Climate change, also known as anthropogenic (or human-caused) global warming,[note 2] is the rising average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans and its related effects. Global-warming denialism refers to claims — mostly funded by the fossil-fuel industry passing through libertarian foundations ('charities') to cover their tracks[6][7][8] — that global warming:

• A) is not happening (denial)
• B) is not caused by humans (blame shifting)
• C) is not significant enough to be a threat (downplaying)
• D) is not important (ignorance)
• E) is beneficial (cherrypicking) — highlight positive effects (e.g., crops grow faster and could grow crops in the Arctic) while ignoring strong evidence for negative effects (e.g., crops will have lower nutrient levels)
• F) is unsolvable (defeatism) (i.e., there is nothing we can do about it, so we shouldn't even try)
• G) will advance the second coming of Christ (errr…)[9][10]

Global-warming denialism should not be confused with those who accept that anthropogenic global warming is a major threat, but dispute whether or not government regulations put in place to combat it result in a desirable outcome, particularly when they target poor people or are just used to generate funds for governments.

Governor Gavin Newsom has explained this over and over this week.

It might interest you to know that, despite active retconning from Mar-a-lago, "fire hydrants" are NOT the first line of defense against wildfires in California, and never have been.

What made this series of wildfires particularly bad, Newsom noted, was the accompanying winds blew with lengthy gusts of 80 to 100 miles per hour, which rendered California's first line of defense....a fleet of firefighting planes... unable to fly safely.

So this was not "incompetence", unless you want to believe California democrats are somehow "controlling the weather" (s'okay if you do believe this, btw, you're not alone. See also: Greene, Marjorie Taylor). You believe what you want to believe. All I'm saying is that your opinion is not supported by, you know, facts and stuff.

Comes now the Alternate Science! This morning, the elderly felon wanted the faithful to know that Canada was partially to blame for the wildfire response. You see, California's water comes primarily from Canada, because Canada was north of the United States and water, as you know, flows downward. A friendlier northern neighbor would have not hesitated to "open the spigot", and is another reason why we need punitive tariffs against Canada.
