I can see how that's bad, but what relationship is there between these extreme weather events and the companies putting billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere? You're taking it out on the wrong person, we're all in this together.

porky-happy Which is why it's so important to keep burning fossil fuels until our GDP is high enough that we can deal with this whole mess

What do you say to corporate apologists or climate change deniers? It’s a similar dynamic to unions and scabs. We’re all in this together but scabs undermine the union by providing a workforce to undermine the solidarity of the union in a strike. This isn’t a rhetorical question. What can we say to reach people that don’t believe or don’t care about the consequences of corporate greed?

They don’t care until it happens to them and then the blame to goes to all the undesirables.
