This is why there’s been so much extreme rainfall and flooding in the U.S.

Cheap power makes it livable.

Hardly.

 

[odanny]

Good.

I hope they got the one who claimed that Anthropogenic Global Warming hits some states harder than others, especially states that AGW knows have been bad.

Stay stupid.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Hardly.

Things are better in India where they cook their food by burning dung.
Talk about renewable energy, eh?

Moron.

Tell that to Venus — without its CO₂-rich atmosphere, it would be about -40°C instead of 462°C. That’s what CO₂ does. Satellite and balloon data don’t disprove this — they confirm it.

Repubs are selling the future of our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren for their political gain. Then they will blame someone else, like trump does on a daily basis.

 

[JLW]

How much do we need to raise taxes by to stop it?

That is like asking, “How much do you want to spend to cure your cancer?”

 

[martybegan]

That is like asking, “How much do you want to spend to cure your cancer?”

More like asking "do you want to cure your cancer by removing your arms, legs, eyes, ears and vocal cords."

 

[Seymour Flops]

I don't agree with them, but lots of TV preachers say tragedies like that are caused by god punishing homosexual behavior.

No more nonsensical than "the climate is changing, buck-bawk!"

I tend to agree — at least for some. But on the other hand, I’m not sure they can entirely help it. Not to put too fine a point on it, but for most people, admitting you're wrong is one of the hardest things to do. Add to that the closed media ecosystem in the U.S., and you get a kind of epistemic isolation. Partisan thinking has shifted from just power politics to identity politics — and while that’s probably more intense on the Republican side, it’s not exclusive to them.

Let me put it this way: If your media environment doesn’t expose you to credible arguments for climate change — and if denying it affirms your political identity — can you really say you’d be likely to reach a different conclusion?

I’m not excusing denialism, but I do think we should be careful before broadly ascribing bad faith to such a large group of people. There’s more going on psychologically and socially than just cynical calculation.

FOX news has done more damage to this country than any single entity that exist. When Murdoch passes, perhaps his children, other than the clone, Lachlan, will stop the BS and lies they spew on a daily basis. An Australian has soiled our country with lies and conspiracy theories. trump is one results of their 24/7 propaganda.

​

Climate Change has been one victim of their lies. Rupert will not see the damage that is coming, but his grandchildren will. Like trump, he does not care.

They might see the damage, but they know damn well who their money comes from. Without the MAGA cult, fox would probably fade away. It's too late for them to try to become an honest source. They will never gain credibility for anyone but the crazies.

There is hope they become a legitimate news source when Rupert passes. But it will take decades for get rid of the stink left by the lies and distortions.

They offend their god by pretending they are prophets.

 

[Sunsettommy]

LOL, another warmest/alarmist bogus narrative that goes on and on over periodic weather events, it wasn't long ago the same warmest/alarmists moaned and groaned over droughts that unsurprisingly went away, there have been periods of floods and periods of droughts going back into the distant past.

There is NO climate change happening in the discussed regions it is just weather!

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

That is like asking, “How much do you want to spend to cure your cancer?”

It’s nothing like that at all. I know the cancer will kill me if I do nothing about it and there are proven cures for it, not theory.

Fox News continues to dominate cable news ratings, consistently topping both total viewership and the advertiser-coveted 25-54 demographic in both total day and primetime. They have maintained their position as the most-watched cable news network for 94 consecutive quarters. In the second quarter of 2025, Fox News saw significant year-over-year growth, with primetime viewership up 25% and the demo up 34%.

94 consecutive quarters. Nearly 8 years straight.

Thats a lot of 25 to 54 year old crazies in that cult.

You believe Foxnews viewers are crazier than people who think that 3 year olds know if their doctor made a mistake in "gendering" them, who think that men get pregnant, and that the border was secure under Biden and Mayorkas?

Fox makes their money catering to hateful conspiracy theorists and trump cult members. Nobody else.

AKA the majority.

No. Sane people have a wide range of sources for their information, so none have an advantage over the others. The crazies crowd around fox. Cult members are not the majority. They just tend to gather into one pile.

So how do you define this "cult" if not"every Trump voter?"

If using the word "cult" was hyperbole, just say so. I'll say, "my bad, then."
