Desperation.

[rxsid]

We demand the weather (climate) remain static....dammit!!

[circlecity]

"Houston has barely begun to dry out from Hurricane Harvey, and Florida faces a massive rebuilding effort after the Irma catastrophe. These two storms, among the most powerful in American history"

Most powerful? I'd be surprised if they were even in the top 10.

[mulligan]

More BS. Never stops.

[I want the USA back]

Brains are not wired, idiot. I know you mean that this manner of thinking is inherent in the human mind, and that there is no way to avoid it. Sorry, dummy, but that’s not how it works. There are no inherent ideas or ways of thinking in the newborn brain. What there is is the ability to learn ways of thinking.
Drop the stupid “hardwired” metaphor. Saying the word “wired” over and over again doesn’t make it true.

My brain hates NutraSweet, hates sodium saccharin, why???...Because like climate change, they’re FAKE!!!

These two storms, among the most powerful in American history, are typical of the extreme weather events that are likely to become more common as the planet warms.

A) "Among" is a subjective term.

B) America's history only goes back 240 years or so. How long have we been able to record the relative strength of hurricanes?

The only way to stop Goebbels Warming is for everyone who believes CO2 is a dangerous pollutant to personally stop emitting it. Once they stop exhaling, problem solved.

What? Paul Ehrlich and Rachel Carlson didn't contribute to this pile?

[Buckeye McFrog]

uhh.....it's hard to stop climate change because it is driven by powerful cosmic forces that are way, way beyond the control of human beings.

[Leep]

I think I see the problem. This guy has wires in his brain.

concrete, rock solid info right there.

So, there were 7 previously name storms prior to Harvey.
In 25 words or less, identify their path and the nature of their destruction ?

[Nifster]

As if we can stop the tide or the sun or hurricanes

Such hubris

"David G. Victor is a professor at UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy & Strategy and codirector of the Initiative on Energy and Climate at the Brookings Institution."

Pretending to know the weather used to be a job our local news anchors performed and we got to make fun of them for being wrong about the weather they promised the next day! Only in the modern body of political advocacy science does a weather man with too many degrees get millions every year for predicting the weather thirty years from now with no more accuracy than my cat.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Because we learned history in school before it was scrubbed.

They have a doomsday show about how if the temperature just goes up two degrees we are all going to die.

Going up two degrees would take us back to the temperature it was when the Roman Empire was around. Humanity was flourishing.

And IIRC we would still be a degree or so below what the temperature was back when the Minoans were flourishing.

Civilization boomed then as well.

Global warming is not problem for people. We like being warm.

Now global cooling on the other hand... that is what kills us.

Both are caused by the sun increasing or decreasing it's output.

There is not a blooming thing we can do about it.

We can only apply our technology to controlling it's impact on us.

[chris37]

I wonder what faulty brain wiring makes humans stupid and dishonest enough to believe that they can control the earth’s climate.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Why the wiring of our brains makes it hard to stop ^{hoaxes like} ”climate change”

The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

[TexasFreeper2009]

lol

the wiring in my brain wont let me accept your hoax?

lol

GOOD! it’s working as it should!

[a fool in paradise]

Why the wiring of our brains makes it hard to stop

...earthquakes

...meteor showers

...gamma rays

[justa-hairyape]

The problem is we have a bunch of Globalist con artist that refuse to give up their con. Harvey was a stalled Cat 3. Irma hit the mainland as a Cat 3. Keys got the Cat 4 and have a mess to rebuild. Florida mainland suffered cat 3 damage. Loss of power due to trees and poles falling.
