Most hurricanes begin off the coast of Africa, and go passed Haiti before getting to the United States. That's the common factor.

White Supremacists are caused by hurricanes.

See, it makes equal sense either way.

But hurricanes don’t make sandwiches. So we’re stuck with mustard on our hands.

Black Lives Matter is a global black queer femme-led intersectional movement and network that works across multiple issues. We do not believe in single-issue stories.

Between blm, celebrities and hilldawg, it's almost as if they're having a contest for dumbest thing said this week.

Blacks are better heat adapted than anyone else.

I guess the two females don’t know that the hurricanes that hit central and north american form off the coast of north africa and are partly influenced by the sand and dust blowing off the desert.

It has been my lifelong experience that black neighborhoods are the absolute worst for trash and debris. Address that first BLM before you take the World Eco Challenge.

And stop killing each other and blaming it on whitey.

If blacks put as much effort into solving their own problems instead of finding ways to blame racism, they might actually make some progress. Instead they wallow in victimization, waiting for white people to fix things for them. Also, if white people are responsible for all their problems, why are the Africans looking to move to Europe? Its full of evil white people!

I’m still laughing at them blaming the weather on Britain.
It’s pretty obvious from all the ridiculous talking points, they have top tier commies telling them what to say. Anyone want to guess as to what color they are? I’m willing to bet it’s the same people they are claiming to blame and hate for everything under the sun.

I said it in another post, how interesting that, other than Will Smith or other Black A-list celebs who occasionally hire themselves out to do photo ops, looking pretty standing in front of those “step and repeat” backdrops with the Sierra Club, WWF or other eco groups’ logos on them the enviro movement in general is so LILY WHITE. BLM are being used as tokens. Seriously, when was the last time a Brother saved a whale? Or a Sister saved a polar bear? 0bama? Sure, only because he owed the tree huggers big time for their endorsements. Hell, I see more diversity at a NASCAR race.

while the UK remains among the least vulnerable countries to the direct effects of climate change

Who's going to be the first to tell these idiots that England, is, duh, an island, with island territories. Subject to the same cyclones (and volcano fallout) and mythical rising seas that everybody else is.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

There’s no disputing the facts you presented.

That’s right - and its all about MONEY. Black “countries” have buyers’ remorse regarding independence because the few educated ones looted the treasuries within a couple of decades of independence; now they need mo’ money, and they need it from non-blacks outside their borders. This came up in a news piece a couple of years ago, where some of these Caribbean “countries” were pressing civilized countries for reparations not for slavery, but for “climate change”. Couldn’t be quantified or verified, so just play it safe and give free money to black people...

Haiti is the worst case; 200 years ago they had to pay France to prevent re-occupation after the slave revolt that gained their independence from them (I’d imagine to repay the French who lost property - land as well as slaves). They are blaming those payments (200 YEARS LATER) for their current dysfunction/poverty.
