Now? Now?
I grew up with evangelicals who were enraged at the blasphemous insult that God did not control the Earth absolutely, and therefore the earth couldn't be getting hotter unless God decided it was time for judgement day, in which case, celebrate, because those jews are finally getting what's coming to them.
This sounds like mental illness to normal people...
I grew up with evangelicals who believed it was blasphemous to say the icecaps are melting because God promised to never flood the Earth again lol
good looks at current state of humanity "Well, looks like I changed my mind"
But it was a pinky swear!!! /s
I came here to comment this. It's always been a culture war, beyond religious views, it's never been popular with the majority to say that our largest industries and companies are willfully ignoring and hiding the truth about what is in humanity's best interests in order to achieve growth.
I don't get this line of reason I ng, cause wasn't earth given to the humans by God to be the caretakers of the planet? If so, were doing a pretty shitty job of it.
Evangelicals rewrite the Bible in places where convenient.
God didn't give the earth to humans for caretaking, he gave it to us, and no man can undo what God hath wrought, so even if it is ruined somehow, God will rapture the faithful to a new realm leaving the damned to burn on earth for eternity as the new purgatory/hell.
Its muddled, but the point is it means evangelicals win no matter what, so don't worry about it.
I'm pretty sure it is mental illness....
We're not allowed to say that, or they might lose control and get violent because you incited them.
Now? Now as in the last 50+ years?
It wasn't fully polarized by party until around 2009, when the fossil fuels industry decided to buy off the Repiblicans in response to an attempt to pass cap and trade legislation.
Wait, the republicans? They were the only party that was bought off? Are you sure about that?
They certainly are both in the pockets of corporations. But only one party is fighting a war on reality.
alway has been
No it's a capitalist issue. The biggest problem by far is corporations. Anything distracting from that fact is propaganda as far as I'm concerned.
Slow news day?
FYI The Sky is now blue.
Shocking, US in another war
The New York times exist to put a blue face on the failure of Capitalism. If you think the solution to climate change exist within our political parties, or via voting, the problem is you.
Also Citing Paul Krugman, the manifestation of neo-liberal talking points, and the failure of third-way politics reflects really badly on you OP.
I think we might be doomed.
Now? Ad nauseum.
If it's a culture issue, then let's frame it as "capitalist culture vs save the planet culture."
Wow, Paul Krugman is still employed? Terrific. Hmm, let’s see. The Climate change agenda is an "issue" because it reeks badly of ulterior motives. Like, control the 'little people" and burden them with obnoxious regulations, rules and whatever else while the wealthy just go on doing as they please. As soon as this gets brought up, the celebs and politicians scatter like ants being sprayed with raid. They fly around in jets, we can’t fly or have to fly like 5th class. No gas powered cars for us but they can have Ferrari collections. We have to live in stacked, crappy apartments while they party it up in their gated mansions. Sorry, not happening. As soon as they hand it all over in the name of climate we can talk. Mm Kay? Good.
Trust the science. Sure, Jan. Why not parade Fauci out there again? LOL.
This reads like an AI generated post trained on everyone's terrible uncles.
🤔 I wonder how many Lemmy accounts actually are just AI-generated bots?
