I'll be honest. I'd rather not know the bullet is coming prior to my death. So when the world ends, at least I would never have known about it.
This is related and I could use some advice/suggestions on how to respond. I posted this on Facebook:
For Some, Scientists Aren't The Authority On Science
http://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2016/11/28/503551431/for-some-scientists-aren-t-the-authority-on-science
And someone I know commented with this:
"The majority of University Professors are liberals. If they weren't, maybe they could be trusted by more people."
I have thought of about 20 different responses. I don't want to be too confrontational, but I want to reveal how willfully ignorant a statement like this is. Any suggestions?
This world is fucked
Or if Trump is an idiot in office just vote his ass out in 4 years.We're all fucking dead
Climate change isn't a bullet, it's heart disease. It's not going to bring about the end of civilization overnight; it's a slow death. You'll still see it coming.
I'm sorry, what?
Trump’s Scottish scuffle was the subject of a May 2008 Vanity Fair investigation by Alex Shoumatoff. And, as Shoumatoff reported, Trump doesn’t have much outward affection for animals—not that this is necessarily a prerequisite for wanting to protect them, we guess:
“Trump says, ‘Do you think manatees know they’re alive? They’re like huge amoebas, constantly getting hit by boats. I don’t think they’re 100 percent there.’ I say they’re related to elephants, so they must have some smarts, and it’s not like they want to be shredded by propellers.”
Thank you America.
On the plus side, we don't have to teach them about president donald trump.Nah.
But your grandchildren are fucked.

Yeah... that statement (and most statements on this subject) is (are) so aggresively stupid that you go through about 20 possible responses before you are robbed of the will to live.
Tell them this is not just "dirty lieberals" concluding this. The entire property and casualty insurance market does their own analysis of the evidence, along with gathering their own historical data, and they now build climate change into their risk forecasts when setting policy rates.
The military that conservatives love so much has done its own independent analysis as well and finds it to be real and a major issue that needs significant strategizing to adapt to.

Fuck you. 98% of climatologists confirm and agree that man is leaving a detrimental footprint on the planet and that climate change exists. 2% don't. Where's he getting this 'half' number?
Nah.

Elon is fucked.
Trump will cut all renewable energy dollars.* It's a shocking turn of events. A few weeks ago I thought that the sky was the limit with his new solar tiles.
*unless he has some buddies who rely on them

Those tiles are so fucking gorgeous though holy shit. Now no one can claim solar is unsightly. They sure blew my mind.
My anti-environmentalist relatives were ranting about how terrible solar panels look and how they'd blow off the roof in a hurricane. I brought up these tiles and they shut up and changed their tune to asking how much they cost.
Same principle applies I guess. Wont spend any time worrying about it. Once its here i'll become a wandering marauder and enjoy my final days as best i can.
