GOP hypocrisy for Sat. 5/14

[u]Conservatives[/u]: We believe in the value of every single human life, which is why we're naturally pro-life.

[u]Also conservatives[/u]: We don't want to feed no illegal babies! Let them starve cuz they're not ours.

And lets not forget what is happening in Texas this weekend, where the hottest May in history continues admidst a partial failure of the power grid. The failure to upgrade the grid following the winter failure several years ago that killed people is playing out again, this time with record high power demand due to cooling needs. Texas residents have been told not to lower their thermostats below 78 degrees this weekend. And yet denial of climate change continues.

@windinhishair This is what happens when you rely on solar and wind. Is this the first time Texas has ever been hot? Phony climate change alarmists coming out of the woodwork.

@Strictgram This is what happens when there is climate change. This is THE HOTTEST May in Texas history. It figures that you would continue to be a reality denier--you've made a habit of denying facts and data.

This has nothing to do with renewable energy. Texas chose to not be part of the regional grid system because they didn't want to be regulated. This is what you people create with deliberate lack of regulation. And it will happen again and again. People will die. And you will still deny reality or any responsibility for the dead.

@windinhishair Precisely. The southeast is expected to hit its hottest temperatures 7 years running now. We have thousands of wildfires burning in the west, and it's not even officially wildfire season. But pay no attention to the noises you hear off stage.

@Graylight Southeast? I take it that you don't LIVE HERE. We're normally in the 80s by mid May. Instead our current weather temp range is from the low 40s to low 70s. Nice try at deflection though.

@Graylight Parts of the northeast are under wildfire spread warnings due to unusual drought conditions.

@dakotaviper Weather differs from climate. But you knew that, right? You can read about the changes in the climate and predicted changes to come here:

https://nca2018.globalchange.gov/chapter/19/#:~:text=The%20Southeast%20region%20experienced%20high%20annual%20average%20temperatures,1930s%2C%20followed%20by%20cooler%20temperatures%20until%20the%201970s.

Educate yourself.

@dakotaviper I live in Florida, where apparently we're the only ones who go outside.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/05/28/southeast-has-just-sizzled-some-its-hottest-may-weather-record-its-not-over/

And yes I understand the seven years begins to make a pattern and that becomes climate. What happened yesterday afternoon is weather.

@Graylight He's like Senator Imhofe bringing a snowball onto the Senate floor to disprove global climate change. People like dakotavipor believe it.
dakotaviper · 56-60, M
@Graylight so living in Florida makes you the authority on the Southeast. I stand corrected. I'm outside pretty much every day. Course at Cape Hatteras how can you not be outside.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@dakotaviper No, reading books and following academic research makes me informed.

But hey, you go outside.

@windinhishair One warm week and for you it's the end of the world. I accept facts but computer models predicting climate 30 years out is pure speculation. The weather man has trouble with a 5 day forecast. But we should accept 20 or 30 year predictions? I think not. Too many anti American, anti capitalist fools are happy to accept leftist dooms day propaganda.

Saying it will never make it so. Why can't you guys learn that?
