Asheville NC and Western NC has been destroyed by hurricane Helene and flooding. People are saying the same boring tired things there and sharing the same misinformation.

This is just ordinary weather which happens all the time.

The only thing we can do is pray.

Climate change isn’t real

This is dangerous to say things like this because it makes people believe that there’s no climate change, and that is ordinary and expected when that’s not even remotely true. It’s leading people to ignorantly become complacent, not contact their government, and when disasters like hurricanes happen, they don’t evacuate because they don’t believe it’ll be serious.

I started commenting on everything telling people that climate change is causing these issues and got the most unhinged glue-sniffer responses ever like

‘this has always been like this’ or ‘liberal snowflake tears’

and the worst ones are always religious.

‘we can’t do anything to save our planet, you need to pray. Send your prayers’

God didn’t create this issue? We are ruining our planet!

Example 1. We now have to surround hospital in Tampa Florida with a literal fucking wall just for ordinary storms

@Kevin R. Sullivan:Hurricanes have nothing to do with climate change

Deranged comments like this are very dangerous and spread false misinformation

    My most hated meme people use right now is: “We’ve had the worst storms/rains/drought/fires of the century every year, that’s just how it is.”

    Bitch if it’s the worst of the century every year that means it’s getting worse every year! There’s no status quo in this!
