The next years are going to be fun… The world is burning while the fossil fuel industry is chugging along like everything is great as long as you buy enough co2 credits.

I’m scared in what kind of world my children will have to live in…

This type of dismissal is a type of climate change denial.

“These things happen naturally.”
“The climate might be changing but it’s not as bad as is being portrayed.”
“Climate change might be happening but it’s not manmade.”
“Of course the climate is changing, we’re exiting an ice age.”

Some or all of the above might sound reasonable but a certain type of person bounces from excuse to excuse without recognizing or admitting there’s an actual catastrophe brewing.

They didn't say anything like that...

They said, in fewer words, that the current heat is climate change exaggerated by El Nino, which is true.

I don't see how that's denying man-made climate change, or misrepresents the severity.

Man i literally said climate change makes it worse...

You can give the benefit of the doubt. I’ll choose not to.

I literally said that climate change makes it worse but ok Mister know it all...

The self-inflicted extinction of the human race is a natural occurrence. /s

It kinda is... I mean we already tried several times.

Humans didn’t exist before God created them. This is a natural occurrence.

Humans created gods, not vice versa

Sorry there are no gods besides me.
