I liked the image of the Titanic nosing down into the water, and deniers up on the stern end saying, "If we're "sinking" how come we/re up so high?"

Because science, bitch!

That's science though, the people that don't believe it will not be convinced by smart people sharing their discoveries.

I feel like you hit the nail on the head. It's not that they don't understand it. I don't understand most of this, but I can try

There are people out there who just don't believe and therefore will never try to understand

Go instead with:

Humans helping the global warming demons is causing the polar ice cap gods to become weaker, who in turn are unable to contain the cold yin winds in the poles, causing them to move to your house.

I'll distribute the leopards. If you're Republican or voted for the pile of shit, just see one of the leopards. Tell them to go back where they came from, they'll know what to do. They're trained, it only takes a second. Pretty painless during... I assume. Oh it's figurative speech? Never mind! I'll get the pumas back. It was pumas right? Ew, I think this one already ate a face. Sorry sorry...

I guess the intent matters but that was kinda painful to read. I give 3 points for the intentions and effort but the execution gets 0.7 scores all across the board

It's a riff on the leopards eating people's faces party joke/meme/satire/sarcasm that goes something like "I can't believe they ate our faces" says person who voted for the face eating leopards party. It basically means (in the original), you get what you vote for and shouldn't be surprised when it happens.

It goes to show you, you learn something every day. Not always something very useful.

From that picture it looks like the weak jet stream is the problem. We just need to build a ton of wind farms across Canada to blow it harder so that it becomes more powerful. Easy.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

If we want the wind farms to blow we'll have to power them using fossil fuels of course. It's the only solution.

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 2 hours ago

And the pollution isn't a problem, because the strong winds generated will dissipate it away.

Oh, and the entire system must be ai-based

You need to convince them the Earth is a sphere first.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Then we need to convince them to build more big red arrows to keep the blue stuff up the top

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldn't a big red circle have more power then smaller individual red arrows?

Bet you're wishing for Trump and his sharpie now!

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

B b but it was hot in the summertime or something

It's just nature's hernia

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 18 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

It's not the rich call it what it is. Capital. When profits are impacted we will see change. This is why I continue to say no one is going to bat an eye when Florida gets swallowed by the ocean but when New York does? That's when we will have a collective eye opening.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 hours ago

Capital

Poor word choice. It is more profitable to build renewables today. Oligarchist power to protect their existing assets, is not "rational capital allocation", but is what we get from power to corrupt capital allocation.
