: “I don’t think that the planet’s livability should be sacrificed for shareholder value.”
: “Wow, You’re CRAZY! Do you want a pill!?”I would put all of my money on betting that this idiot lives somewhere that has extremely mild weather and has not experienced wet bulb conditions in her entire life
Went to Stanford, edited at the Orange County Register before moving to the Wall Street Journal.
She also authored an op ed for the WSJ ‘asking’ if vaccines were causing new COVID variants, and has been on panels with conservatives discussing the future of conservatism.
So she’s a privileged toadie whose most pressing personal issue has probably been bitching about how everyone hates conservatives.
Probably has air-conditioning on 24 by 7
If heat waves were as deadly as the press proclaims, Homo sapiens couldn’t have survived thousands of years without air conditioning.
Climate change obssessers acting like it’s the hottest month in 120,000 years or something.
The evolution understander has entered the chat
Also kind of a weird because the species is 300,000 years old, not 9,999 or less as “thousands” suggests. Gotta appeal to those Young Earth creationists, I guess?
You’d think we were in the thick of the World’s 6th Great Extinction, the way Climate Alarmists keep chattering on.
This motherfucker wants me to
My therapist in 10 years bathed in fire
: have you heard about Climate Change Obsessive Disorder?Homo sapiens couldn’t have survived thousands of years without air conditioning
Correct, localized heat waves don’t kill the entire species. Just individuals in affected areas.
This type of basic logical error is way too common. Just a complete inability to think critically, and when you point out the error they will literally lack the reading comprehension to grasp it.
It is frequently excused that “the human brain simply isn’t designed to think about other people/large numbers/society/long time scales/things we can’t see/etc”. That is bullshit, we can and do understand such things, through science. The human brain has the specific capacity to conceptualize things through reason based on the phenomena we can observe.
Humans existed for thousands of years without capitalism, but kicking and screaming will be the immediate response to any suggestion we overcome it.
Also she’s right to say people could possibly adapt, but what is that even going to look like? Living in underground tunnels? Actual robot pods from the Matrix?
This journalist has no idea and no one else does either, because the only projections we have say the global average temp will get so high to kill us all.
Actually you’re only worried about Covid because you have a social anxiety disorder sweaty
Actually you’re only worried about microplastics because you read too much news
Actually you’re only worried about politics because you are too online
Actually you’re only horrified at the false reality in which you are inescapably enmeshed because you dared to raise your eyes from the material illusion towards the heavens and so met the hateful eyes of the insane demiurge that rules this prison of the flesh.
If only CHUDs didn’t beat us to the punch with the redpill, bluepill stuff. Because they are quite literally telling us to take the bluepill…because it’s easier.
I am less and less joking when I say /r/UpliftingNews, /r/GetMotivated, and related grindset communities are death cults that deny life itself in favor of some idealized solipsistic power fantasy.
No argument from me. It’s profound Pollyanna denialism. I hate when people scold me for just pointing out things that are actually happening. Like yeah, sure, it sucks that Global Warming is going to have horrifying nation-shattering effects now and there’s no way for things to be “normal” anymore, but that’s not my fault and yelling at me for pointing it out isn’t going to fix anything. Nor is being “Hopeful” going to change our course. If they accepted how bad things are maybe they’d stop "Hope"ing and start sharpening their knives.
Oh phew. Here I was worrying over food shortages, severe weather events, basic exposure leading to death, and a migration crises on a level humanity has never seen. Good to know it’s mental illness.
I think people are so disconnected from food production that they don’t understand how extreme weather events can dramatically impact crop growth. You can’t just air condition the soybean fields, and you can’t eat fossil fuels.
A couple years back there was a chili sauce shortage because drought and extreme heat were affecting pepper crops. These plants literally evolved in hot climates and even they’re struggling.

Could you describe how much of a piece of shit you’re in a few words?
I recall being especially horrified by the vicious attacks on supporters of Prop. 8, the California referendum banning same-sex marriage.
So much for the tolerant left
I worked at a family-owned frozen yogurt shop that gave me my best lesson in microeconomics and the costs of excessive regulation as well as the value of immigrants.
Man, those guys really extrapolate their lives to the rest of the world, it’s a brain disease
Also, bragging that you spent your life writing opinion pieces after your high school reporting journalist days isn’t the own you think it is (you’re the one being owned btw), like why should we care about your opinion then?

But they’re not even contrarians. The author is clearly a sheeple blindy supporting popular opinion, probably because she’s still mentally a high schooler where anyone who isn’t a brainless, shallow, narcissistic asshole is ostracized.
We’re the contrarians, we’re okay with having unpopular but correct opinions.
why do liberal newspapers insist on publishing these people
Idk if I’d call the wsj liberal, they’re definitely to the right of the failing ny times.

“We haven’t gone extinct yet therefore your concerns are invalid” is the kind of argument that works until it doesn’t.
They’ll just keep moving the goalposts until it’s “The last single-celled organisms will survive the global extinction, therefore your concerns are invalid.”
I’m calling it, infinite
for every journalist in the west, sorry niche socialist paper journalists you will be a necessary sacrifice to wipe these ghouls off the internet and airwavesTo be fair, most of those “niche socialist papers” are
, so it’s not a huge loss anyway.
