    Fuck climate change, NOAA provides hurricane and heat warnings. They’re what most weather providers use as the basis for telling people if you should grab an umbrella on your way out the door

    Starting a culture war with the weather is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. What’s your end game? Weatherman Alex Jones telling Floridians to go to the beach because the hurricane is just going to glide by safely and bring a nice cool breeze to the shore to keep you comfy?

      I’ve already seen yapping heads on sticks claiming that extreme heat warnings are fake-- for example, Neil Oliver. But he also says vaccines cause cancer, so he can fuck right off.

      And if they ignore hurricane warnings to own the libs, what can you do but shrug your shoulders?

      Climate change affects everybody numbnuts. It’s not culture war to want a habitable and healthy planet. If that’s what you think, you should talk to more scientists, and watch less tv.

        I think you misinterpreted my comment, the point was they’re obviously doing this because they want to continue to deny climate change, but that’s like 1% of what NOAA does.

          To be completely fair…they might also be doing it “so we stop getting bad weather”…so it is up in the air with those lunatics.

            These are the same people who claim that putting in solar panels will cause the sun to run down, so what you’re saying is sadly plausible.
