This is a tragedy, and unfortunately the general sentiment I’ve seen online from trumpers is that “this is not natural” and “this was an intentional geoengineering attack by the democrats”. MTG has already introduced a bill that:
prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense.
This is the worst timeline.
So the combined efforts of 8 billion people can’t change the climate, but the democrat party can? Do they think it’s full of supervillains or something? Oh fuck. They probably do, don’t they?
As a progressive, I would LOVE to have these mythical powers that Turdpublicans think me to have. Sadly, I can’t turn off wildfires or make mosquitos stop sucking.
The left are simultaneously super villains and weak lazy useless moochers. It’s a fascist mainstay.
Do they think it’s full of supervillains or something?
Remember, with these types, every accusation is a confession.
EDIT - clarification: They’re attributing nasty supervillain weather-control powers to the “Libs” because, were they themselves in possession of such abilities, they’d gladly use them in such terrible ways.
Made worse by the hijacking of the Magic: The Gathering acronym by Marjorie Taylor Green.
That is a shit policy. That wording means that planes can’t be used to pour fire retardants onto blazes, and likely many other useful practices that I don’t know about.
You can also flip it the other way and force chemical companies to completely stop dumping of anything into the air because their burning waste causes acid rain which has been scientifically proven and is known to alter weather negatively. I’m sure all of her petroleum constituents would love that.
Their behavior is such a disservice to the victims.They simply couldn’t admit to being wrong about climate change. It’s painfully disingenuous. And will create more victims in the future as magical thinking and conspiratorial voices are elevated
Wasn’t that introduced to counter ideas about geoengineering against climate change?
Like solar engineering and stuff like that? It makes sense from the perspective of somebody who denies man-made climate change to not have people tamper with this.
I don’t think the claim of this resent event beeing an geoengineering attack and the bill you refer too are connected. At least not as far as I understand it.
Climate denial should be seen as the same as being a Nazi. People are actually being harmed and biomes are being destroyed.
At least 43 fatalities have been reported so far, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said at a news conference Saturday evening. The dead include 28 adults and 15 children. Twelve of the adults and five children are unidentified, Leitha said. At least 27 campers were missing, Dalton Rice, Kerryville city manager, said.
This is such a tragedy, so many of the dead and missing are kids.
imagine voting for trump and then he directly causes the death of your child
i guess at least we don’t have DEI anymore… fucking /s
didn’t you hear, democrats have a weather machine and are making this for… reasons
Note that many impacted are in blue areas of Texas.
Remember TX , climate change is a myth and you should worry about the scary immigrants instead of looking at your infrastructure.
Innocent people, mostly poor, were the victims. Politics and election results aside, this is awful and not the time to be gleefully vindictive.
My mind has been so poisoned by the vindictiveness of US culture since 2016, that I genuinely read a headline like this and a big part of me is happy it’s the other side that got hurt. Like wtf happened to me.
Hurt people hurt people. (The cycle of abuse)
Get offline. Hate is one of the emotions people use to increase click rate and engagement. Imagine being so full of hate that you’re glad that the children who died are the children of people you don’t like. And you don’t even know who those children were, you just assumed who their parents are because of their geographic location. That is what being online for too long will do to you. Do yourself a favor and unplug before you can’t go back.
You are for sure not wrong.
Are the Trump cuts to NOAA and FEMA helping or not?
the Guadalupe River had risen about 26 feet in 45 minutes.
Goddamn…
Is FEMA helping, or is the melting mango fart withholding money like he did for Sarah Huckasand’s state? Maybe if Greg Abbott were a little hotter and let creepotus fondle his bussy he’d get some funding.
FEMA’s disbandment was postponed until after the hurricane season. I have no idea if they are going to help or not because it’s been so damn wishy-washy with these idiots that people are literally dying now because of their extremely stupid decisions. Chip Roy, who is completely in favor of all of this chaos is now down there trying garner sympathy for his extremely poor choices and leadership. It’s his district. He will get his sympathy because somehow this will be blamed on democrats, liberals, the woke, or all three. We also see Gravy Seal Supreme Dan Patrick in army cosplay for the occasion down there too.
I’m sure the cuts at NOAA and NWS didn’t have anything to do with worsening the tragedy.
Great job Texas you are a nice warm up for how much of a disaster this year will be.
Global climate change is a HOOOOOCKSE!
If you voted for mango Mussolini, YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.
For those that didn’t, I’m truly saddened and sorry. Hopefully enough of the racist trash died for Texans to successfully vote in their own self interest in the mid terms.
Eh, Texas isn’t a real place.
Drowning children as they sleep isn’t a great solution to that.
Solution to what? Being a real place?
Or whatever the point of your comment was.
You get what you vote for.
Kids can’t vote. You are one degree away from advocating collective punishment.
The tragedy is that most of the time, the vast majority of people who vote for that shit doesn’t suffer the consequences immediately or at all.
