Remember how everyone made fun of Al Gore? Manbearpig? Leaving the Paris accord?
Remember how they are mocking the Green New Deal?
Remember Dominionism, making fun of "soy boys", and everything else?
You should remember this when they try to pretend they do everything they could to remove environmental regulations and delay dealing with global warming until it was too late.
Also remember a good percentage of them believe in End-Time Theology (ever wonder why Evangelicals care so much about a Jerusalem embassy?)
edit: California is burning down just like Australia did earlier. So is Siberia. Pay attention to methane emissions from permafrost and shallow clathrates. This article is a different facet of the same problem. We are beyond the Earth's carrying capacity and it's because the wealthiest wanted to keep getting wealthy and because some religious fanatics believe in the Rapture (including a fair number of the top members of the current US administration).
- MisterBastahrd 6y agoI think the end-time theology thing is understated. There's a significant part of the US population who actually believes that the reason they don't need to be concerned about the environment is because God will rapture them up before the shit hits the fan. This also allows a fringe of that fringe to actively ignore political leaders who don't cater to their specific subset of interests because they "might be the anti-christ." Between Obama + Antichrist and Trump + Antichrist alone there are over 7 million results on google including a ton of kindle books.
