Go on any news story, popular social media post or video about the current heatwave and extreme weather events happening across the world right now and it will be filled with "people" pretending it's not a big deal or not happening at all.
"It's called summer"
"Be happy we are getting some nice weather"
"It's fine where I am"
"These things have always happened"
"Man made climate change isn't real, it's government weather machines"
These bots often peddle in conspiracy talk and I know some people on this sub fall for it.
The science around man made climate change has been settled for decades. If you increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, all other things being equal, it gets hotter. But decreasing greenhouse gas emissions would require fossil fuel companies make less money and large corporations to change their practices to be less wasteful and more expensive, and god forbid we allow that to happen. They care more about short term profit than they do the long term sustainability of human society and the planet itself, so they have taken every step possible to prevent action against climate change, including lobbying governments, trying to shift the responsibility off themselves onto individuals by promoting things like carbon footprints, and spreading the idea that it isn't real at all through bots and other mouthpieces.
Despite the constant spread of climate change denial, most people are worried about climate change and want more to be done about it. But the powers that be try to convince everyone that there is still doubt around anthropogenic climate change and that most people don't care about it.
Looking at the long range forecasts for the upcoming El Nino event, things are going to get really bad, and we're at the point now where I don't know if it is even possible to stop. Perhaps some huge disaster, unprecedented in modern times will finally wake enough people up for things to change, but it might be too late to prevent mass environmental destruction and decline in global living standards.

Stop your fear mongering.
“Nooo!! You can’t heat your homes and produce food cheaper than any time in history! You’re killing us all!”
The earth used to be a frozen tundra thank your god it got warmer. 🙏
The department of Defense is the world’s largest polluter. All we have to do is stop the endless wars and we’ll be fine.
You sound vaccinated
Ah the ‘science has been settled’ bollocks. I seem to remember that same shite being spouted around covid. Settled my arse
‘Maybe the Penguins were just uncomfortable in the heat’
Mmm-hmm. Just like they claimed the polar bears would be extinct by now.Just like they said that both coasts of the U.S. would be submerged by now.And just like they claimed that the world would be plunged into a second Ice Age, all due to to man-made “climate change”.
TL;DR Fuck off with your fear-mongering bullshit OP..
Have you ever done any critical thinking or research on the earth’s climate history? It’s almost like the earth has ebb and flow of its climate throughout history and it will keep happening with or without human intervention.
Well at least the comments section proves OP right lmao
Even the environmentalistic politicians and other actors are not serious about global warming. For example they omit the fact that corn production increase the heat index 5-10+° during peak seasons. They just want to transform commerce to fight this with more production and geo engineering when in fact the only thing that could be done about it to halt production. Which would obviously cause a slew of societal issues. So there is a choice for them, race to get slots in the bunker or stop all production and let the earth return to a more homeostastic place. Since you can’t stop a heard of sheep from running off a cliff it seems the only choice for them.
Science is never settled
Getting this heated over something so trivial is crazy.
You know the vikings used to plant in Greenland so they could make beer? It was way hotter a few hundred years ago than now.
And you still have to properly explain how this is caused by humans and it’s not just another way for the elite to take freedoms from us through citizen carbon footprints that don’t apply to industries which polute way more.
The planet saviors aka eco-terrorists are here with the same BS. Take any event and make it sensational news. They think somehow they will color the universe green. What a waste of time and resources.
