    Floods like this happen all the time

    And if they don’t it’s still a very natural thing to happen

    And if it’s not, it’s a cycle and it’s been the same since historic times

    And if it’s not then you shouldn’t build near water

        Damn the one time I don’t put a /s

        I honestly didn’t expect anyone not to get it, that’ll show me.

        Just to help for anyone else wondering it’s a modified version of the narcissist’s prayer.

      i see the sarcasm, but now for a real question:

      we are already seeing the things they warned us about years ago happening now. further unrealized warnings call for large habitat destruction. we could see large extinction events. the same people that bury their heads in the sand are the ones who stand in the way of legislating solutions to mitigate this. entire species of animals that are completely innocent could die because these ignorant people will block solutions. what do we do?

      Ashville NC which is kinda the epicenter of where the worst of the reporting is coming out of is 250 miles from the coast and located in the mountains. This isn’t just “yeah you built in Florida you signed up for extreme weather events” this is “the fucking Appalachian mountains flooded!” This should be the wakeup call the climate change is coming for everyone and will make more extreme weather events for everyone
