No, it’s because those that downvotes are trying to find causation associated with climate change. His comment was indirectly against this narrative, and thus downvoted. HN has always been mob ruled, with the understanding that the farther left your views, the greater “karma” you receive (almost to extremism). 8 years being on here, and this has always been this way. The person’s comments was suggesting a fluke event. No comments were given to have dialogue with the comment, which only downvoted. If people wish to create a toxic environment for opposing view points, that is their choice. However, it is toxic none the less. Not everything is associated with climate change or politics.
