I found it funny, in a morbid way, when the then conservative Australian Prime Minister announced 4 floods in Queensland each only weeks apart. I’m paraphrasing here since I can’t be bothered looking up the numbers. The first was once in 500 years, the next; once in a century, then one in 50 years and then once in a decade. The timelines just kept getting shorter! Eventually they’d be once a week floods, then once a day!! But it’s totally normal and definitely not climate change.
Hard to believe that some people still take morons like that seriously. You’d really have to be in a state of complete denial to look at the 4th flood, listen to the PM and think “boy am I glad the Greeny tree huggers aren’t in charge.”
Things seem to be going just fine
I would simply be in the top 1%
I usually just assume people around me are left leaning and progressive.
I went to London to visit the satellite office and one of the top guys there was having a rant against vegans. I chimed in a bit and said, “well, you can say what you want but vegans are at least doing good for the environment”.
The guy was like, “I don’t believe that”
I thought he was joking, so I said, “haha what, you don’t believe in climate change?”
I should have never said that. Ten minutes of him furiously ranting about nonsense.
I got great quotes such as: “you know what climate change is? it’s when seasons change” and also “we should be eating more animals because it increases the carbon in the world and is good for us”.
Fucking hell. When I got back to the Canadian office and told my coworkers about him, the others were telling me how much of a prick he was – and they didn’t know anything about the climate change denial shit he was into either.
Wait, you’re saying someone who is confidently incorrect happens to be an asshole? Shocking!
I believe climate change is real, but I don’t believe being vegan is an effective method to combat it, so I don’t think vegans are doing good for the environment
Nowadays: AGI will come up with a solution.
We don’t need to worry or change anything because science will come up with a magic solution any day now we pinky promise.
The fucked up part is: Science has already come up with a magical solution, plenty in fact; we’re just failing to implement them. Renewables, and especially solar, are developing at an incredible pace and in a better world would already be the main source of energy worldwide. The only technology missing from this equation is the guillotine.

We can’t fix the environment now, we have to fix the man made economic disaster that happens every 5-10 years

The last panel should read “the highest profits on record” /s
This is a twit of a comic. Why include the twitter guy? Did he make the comic?
Nope, I just found it like this.
