Unfortunately, conservatives are just going to try conversion therapy and we all know that shit doesn't work.

Carbon credits are conversion therapy for climate change.

Hmm. Yeah, both are bullshit and entirely useless, and siphon money away from society.

One day you have El Niño, and the next day you wake up to La Niña!

These are people that say man made climate change is a myth because we are too small to do that but controlling the weather to make hurricanes stronger is totally happening right now.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Because there's no "conspiracy" that "they don't want you to know about" regarding climate change. Climate change has publicly accessible information that goes back decades. That's boring and doesn't give people a sense of importance.

But HAARP and other "true causes" of hurricanes hitting people who never get hit by hurricanes are surreptitious and give these nutters a sense of moral superiority. They feel important because "they know more than you".

Here's a great podcast episode about the very ideology (with transcript): https://www.apa.org/news/podcasts/speaking-of-psychology/conspiracy-theories

Think of an October heat wave as summer trying to use a restroom that doesn't match its assigned season at birth.

I love that Infowars is for sale.

I hope Knowledge Fight can buy the domain, like they’ve talked about doing. That would be <chef’s kiss>.

No, they would respond exactly the way they already are responding. They would claim climate transition as a concept was made up by liberals, they would deny such a thing is possible, let alone happening, and they would enact policies in states they control to limit speech about it and punish people whose professions have to deal with it. You know, like they're doing in Florida to doctors and teachers about LGBTQ+ and to scientists about the climate.

The goal is to avoid the "climate reassignment surgery" that takes place after warming above 2C. It's going to happen to all of us, and 99% of us have not consented to it.

"Mother earth" is transitioning and the liberals support it." - some fox ghoul probably

[–] humblebun@sh.itjust.works -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, basically because all republicans are anti-LGBTQ+ dorks.
