Gee, Maybe Nature is Trying to Tell Us Something

 

 

Tornados yesterday in Toronto.

Not Tuscaloosa, Toronto!

As in Ontario. As in Canada.

Read: Canada storms: at least eight dead amid trail of destruction

Record heatwaves as early as May across the United States. Catastrophic droughts all across the West. Wildfires burning out of control in 17 states. Water rationing is expected in 1/6th of the country this summer.

Oh, and if you don’t like bad news, then you may want to skip the frightening events from Europe, with record heat happening right now. Parts of India and Pakistan have already hit 110 degrees this year, and it’s only mid-May. Water is going to run dry for more than a billion people. A BILLION. And Greenland is basically disappearing off the map, melting so fast that scientists can’t keep even up with tracking the data. The same is true for Antarctica. And Siberia. Siberia! It’s happening EVERYWHERE.

But hey — CONSERVATIVES insist there’s nothing to worry about. They deny the overwhelming amount of data, they ignore the science, and they dismiss 8 of the last 10 years as being the hottest ever in recorded history. They call this overwhelming evidence a “hoax.” They even point to their own ….ahem….”research” — funded by….oil companies.

That’s right, oil giants that are turning the planet into a giant blast furnace while these suicidal fucks tag record profits at our expense. Oh yeah, but the high gas prices (worldwide) are “Biden’s fault.” Yeah, right.

Good grief, people — wake the fuck up!

Water will soon be more precious than oil in some parts of the world. Record heatwaves are happening on EVERY continent. Some mountain ranges will lose snow (which means water) vanishing completely for the first time in history.

Gee — maybe, just maybe — nature is trying to tell us something. Why the hell aren’t we listening?

Remember who warned us about this: Scientists, academics, liberals, progressives. And let’s remember who ignored the problem, lied about it, and then covered it up: Republicans, conservatives, Trumpers, and the fossil fuel industry. These liars and deniers are criminals. They’re sadists. These are all FACTS.

What’s going on right now is mass madness, a global calamity, and yes, a GENOCIDE happening right before our eyes, if we’d only pay attention. It might be too late in some places. The domino effects of this — economically, politically, and socially — are going to significantly impact every person on earth.

Yes, the planet is trying to tell us something. It’s screaming out for respect and relief. It’s lashing out and behaving in ways that are unprecedented. But far too many are deaf and STILL won’t listen.

What’s it going to take?

GEE, MAYBE NATURE IS TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING!

What’s it going to take? Tornados in Toronto? Permafrost melting in Siberia for the first time in 10,000 years? The extinction of polar bears? What’s it going to take?
