MODERATORS
 

Climate denial has always been cretinous, deadly and irresponsible, but today, right here, right now, it requires Morrisonian levels of cognitive dissonance, a toddler’s inability to link cause and effect, a rotten sold soul, and an unwillingness to look outside the window and believe your own stupid fucking face.

A decent portion of the creepy things that happen at the start of terrible movies like 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow are happening. We are beyond needing to argue the truth of any of this.

And yet climate denial somehow continues to obfuscate, confuse, and misinform, manufacturing consent for the type of cowardly inaction both major parties jerk-off to, greasing the wheels for the continued plundering of our futures by an exceptionally small group of vampiric individuals, soulless mega-corporations, their dancing puppeticians and convenient idiots in conservative (read: mainstream) media circles.

That’s the first thing you get rid of when it gets a bit warm,’ he continued, oblivious to the fact the UN tends to hold its event inside air conditioned rooms and not beneath Iran’s midday sun – where, incidentally, it was 49.9c today.

There’s talking about arson while the world grows ever more combustible.

I am at a point where I am glad these imbeciles that support and fund climate-change deniers will get what its coming to them. Its funny that rural and lower-income bible-belt conservatives will get especially hit with the effects of climate change. But why did they have to take us all out along with them? At least they will be on the grill first so I can laugh at them while they burn.
