Poll Finds Most People Would Rather Be Annihilated By Giant Tidal Wave Than Continue To Be Lectured By Climate Change Activists
The Babylon Bee ^ | December 12th, 2019

U.S.—A new study found that most people would rather be annihilated by a giant tidal wave caused by climate change than continue to be lectured by climate change activists.

Study participants were given the option of having the earth flooded by massive tidal waves or listening to virtue-signaling, smarmy lectures by environmentalists for the next decade. Over 87% of respondents selected, "Bring on the tidal wave." A few people said they'd rather take the lectures, but after hearing a few minutes of the lectures, quickly changed their minds. Several respondents rushed straight to the ocean, arms outstretched, and asked the sea to take us all.

"Come, sweet death," one man scrawled on the survey response form after hearing just 30 seconds of a Greta Thunberg lecture. "O, sweet release that ends my suffering on this mortal plane! Embrace me in your salty arms, great wave of destiny."

"Honestly, between Greta and the climate change, I'll take the climate change," said one man in Minnesota. "Heck, it's Minnesota, don't ya know. We could use a little warming. But even if it turns out to be catastrophic -- I'll take the tidal wave."

Fires, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, and bees also polled higher than the activists.

I’m sure very few of them washed their clothes by hand like I did my uniforms/sundry items in the Middle East once upon a time. Nowadays I have no guilt about using my washer, dryer and dishwasher. :)

Well, you then are most certainly excused.

The point was, though, I enjoy listening to people complain about climate change and then when you offer some really practical way to not use fossil fuels, I then enjoy watching them squirm as they make excuses for not doing anything.

Yes you done good putting their feet to the fire. I haven’t run into any one like that but I’ll be sure to ask them if they dry their clothes outside like you said.

The exact reason I stopped watching The Weather Channel and their pseudo weather/science folks. Nothing but voodoo science preaching doom and gloom, unless we spend ourselves into bankruptcy. “ This was the warmest year ever ladies and gentlemen, but the polar vortex continues to grip half the nation........”

Somebody needs to make a meme. (Maybe someone has already done this.)

A picture of Greta with two words - “OK Doomer”

I guess the folks in Minnesota are happy it is warmer. Sixty years ago in Iowa it was horribly cold. On the other hand did they interview folks from North Carolina, Houston, or New Orleans?
