Flat Earthers, and the Rise of Science Denial in America
Every day in the media we see once-unthinkable science headlines. More than seven hundred cases of measles across 22 states in the U.S., largely due to vaccine deniers. Climate change legislation stalled in the U.S. Senate—due mainly to partisan politicians who routinely confuse climate and weather—even as scientists tell us that we have only until 2030 to cut worldwide carbon emissions by half, then drop them to zero by 2050. And, in one of the most incredible developments of my lifetime, the Flat Earth movement is on the rise.
Truly tragic isn’t it? Here is a short very short video of a grade A American imbecile with his killer demonstration of how climate change is a hoax ......Mint sent me this a while back I nearly died laughing at his “uh huh “ at the end https://youtu.be/3E0a_60PMR8
“I have a theory about global warming and why people think it’s real. Go back 30, 40 years when there was much less air conditioning in the country. When you didn’t have air conditioning and you left the house, it may in fact have gotten a little cooler out there, because sometimes houses become hot boxes. Especially if you’re on the second or third floor of a house in the summer time and all you’ve got is open windows and maybe a window fan. Or you have some servant standing there fanning you with a piece of paper. When you walked outside, no big deal, it’s still hot as hell. Now, 30, 40 years later, all this air conditioning, and it’s a huge difference when you go outside. When you go outside now, my golly, is it hot. Oh. Global warming. It’s all about the baseline you’re using for comparison.”
That lil gem is from Rush Limbaugh. There are so many more but the level of stupid coming from them physically hurts me sometimes.
How do idiots like this even cross the road without assistance 🤣 This line nearly killed me ...... Or you have some servant standing there fanning you with a piece of paper.......A piece of paper ........🤣🤣🤣 The poor man had an image of a fan in his mind but didn’t know the word for it 🤣🤣🤣

I don't know!!!! But what boggles the mind is how many followers they have! It's both hilarious and maddening.
Like, never mind that we are breaking records for heat, floods, and extreme weather, it totally has to be the AC's and us going outside and thinking "Golly it's hot!"
Not to be outdone by the other idiots here is Donald Trump on that good ole global warming ......
.......In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!.........
Comment made just days after Trump obtained approval to build two sea barriers to protect his golf resort in County Clare, Ireland, from rising water
He was over here last week and of course he said he all the usual bullshit about Loving Ireland blah , blah , blah.
The reality is his hotel and golf club are losing money so where did he stay? At his hotel and golf club a great bit of international advertising , analysts are saying the Hotel will now be booked out with Americans and international tourists. He covered the bar bill in the three local bars a clever move the locals love him as tourism is thriving in the area since he became President
He says a lot of stupid things and is a buffoon of that theres no doubt , he does have cunning though and skill to use and dispense those who are most useful at the time

He's being criticised for this a lot lately. Using the presidency as a marketing tool for his own businesses.
I was cruising Youtube and found this lil gem, the clips Jon shows are pretty on par with the kind of stupid we are dealing with and his reactions are perfect.
the kind of stupid we are dealing with and his reactions are perfect
Hello Mint:
Yeah.. We had the ice IN the water argument here a couple weeks ago.
Look.. At this stage, denying climate change is BAKED IN.. The people who DENY it will ALWAYS deny it, even when their Palm Beach condo is 6' under water.
But for sheer vivid lunacy, nothing matches this Good Morning America report from 2008:
The images show Manhattan shrinking against the onslaught of the rising seas — in 2015. Last year. Gasoline was supposed to be $9 per gallon. Milk would cost almost $13 per gallon. Wildfires would rage, hurricanes would strike with ever-greater intensity. By the end of the clip I was expecting to see the esteemed doctors Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, and Ray Stantz step forward to predict, “Rivers and Seas boiling!” “Forty years of darkness!” And of course the ultimate disasters: “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together . . . Mass hysteria!”
ROTFFLMMFAO !!!!!!!!! Jewel you Leftist live in a world that is consumed by HYSTERIA !
The oil and gas industry in the United Kingdom produced 1.42 million BOE per day[1] in 2014, of which 59%[1] was oil/liquids. In 2013 the UK consumed 1.508 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil and 2.735 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas,[2] so is now an importer of hydrocarbons having been a significant exporter in the 1980s and 1990s.
98% of production comes from offshore fields[3] and the services industry in Aberdeen has been a leader in developing technology for hydrocarbon extraction offshore. Historically most gas came from Morecambe Bay and the Southern North Sea off East Anglia, but both areas are now in decline. Oil comes mainly from the North Sea Central Graben close to the median line with Norway in two main clusters – around the Forties oilfield east of Aberdeen and the Brent oilfield east of Shetland. There have been recent discoveries in challenging conditions west of Shetland. As of 2012 there were 15,729 kilometres (9,774 mi) of pipelines linking 113 oil installations and 189 gas installations.[4] The only major onshore field is Wytch Farm in Dorset but there are a handful oil wells scattered across England. There is significant shale potential in the Weald and in the Bowland Shale under Lancashire & Yorkshire, but only a few wells have been drilled to date.
The UK's strengths in financial services have led it to play a leading role in energy trading through markets such as ICE Futures (formerly the International Petroleum Exchange). The price of Brent Crude from the British North Sea remains the major benchmark for the international oil trade, and the National Balancing Point market is the benchmark for most of the gas traded across Europe.[5] The difficult offshore conditions make the UK a high-cost producer; in 2014 the average development cost was $20.40/boe and the operating cost was $27.80/boe for a total of $48.20/boe.[1] In 2014 the industry spent £1.1bn on exploration, £14.8bn on capital investment and £9.6bn on operating costs.[1] Fields developed since 1993 are taxed through an additional corporation tax on profits, in 2014 the industry generated £2.8bn in direct taxes.[1]
Avram you LIMEY'S going to shut down OIL and GAS production ??????????
You clearly don't understand the theory, which essentially divorces you from the argument. Come back to me when you understand what scientists are saying.
Yes, you forgot to say we have science deniers on the Left who ignore everything the science of Biology teachers us in regards to the natural design of our bodies. They deny how the coming together of man and woman is the natural order to life.
To try to claim that Homosexuality is just one more natural normal sexual orientation is akin to Flat Earther's.
Stop being such a hypocrite when you are no better then them.
HOGWASH, we see no homosexuality in any of out pets or livestock or animals we can observe. WHY IS THAT?
If it happens in nature why do we not see it in animals we live with and see every day?
Any animal you try to deceive us with, is not Gay. They have sex with anything that moves just as a dog will hump your leg. I guess that dog must be into bestiality.
Homosexual sex is used, for example, in various ape species to express heirarchies, and in some for no clear reason other than pleasure. And as we see in humans: a strict desire for the same sex is a trait among a significant portion of humanity. Humans are part of nature. Ergo, homosexuality is part of nature.
the Left who ignore everything the science of Biology teachers us in regards to the natural design of our bodies.
Hello again, From:
Let's examine, ok... I suppose you're saying that female genitalia fits PERFECTLY with male genitalia, and that's PROOF that the natural way to have sex is male to female..
But, MOUTHS, both male and female fit PERFECTLY with male genitalia.. Same thing with buttholes.. What biological message does that send?
The Royal Family has what???? Male and Females in the Royal Palace !!!!!! How did that happen ?
Well, evolution offers two options. Either keep improving the species through a process of reproducing the best genetic data available for survival, or immortality. I guess it's three options if you count self-reproduction, but sex is always way more fun than masturbation anyway.
Dummy the bartender is scared of a garbage disposal and the bitch just figured out that lettuce comes from the earth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMMFAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
