    They mainly blame it on the sun or they just see it as “natural warming” just the way ice ages have existed.

    For example: here’s one of Germany’s leading right wing populists (and inbred nazi descendant wannabe noble) Beatrix von Storch saying: “Well maybe we need to tell the sun to shine less!” when being asked about how to tackle climate change.

      So these people have a choice: they can accept their way of living is a reason for the current catastrophe. They need to stop enjoying cars, that schnitzel mit bratkartoffeln and start building those wind plants also to the south.

      Or they can start blaming the refugees and the women with tattoos.

        schnitzel mit bratkartoffeln

        Is this a joke I’m not getting? How does a german dish contribute to climate change? Or do you just mean meat in general and that was a specific example

      Those are just excuses they come up with on the spot because they feel correctly they are being put on the spot when asked about it. All human actions are about avoiding negative social consequences and that’s what they’re actually worried about.

      That they think they need to justify themselves offers at least some hope, however.

        I really think it’s ironic that we are risking the destruction of systems that have been stable for hundreds (or even thousands) of years just to save a system that isn’t even stable enough to handle an Elon Musk tweet
