What is the end goal here? As someone who had panic moments daily about the climate crisis, I don't understand what is driving these choices.
It’s pure “fuck you, I got mine” mentality. Most of these people will be long dead before the worst occurs, so they don’t care. Coupled with greed, they never think they have “enough” and will never change their ways in any altruistic manner, so they constantly need more and more. It doesn’t matter what the end state is, they’ll be dead and won’t care.
I think a lot of it is to just "own the libs." Perhaps to drive libs out of their states so they'll never be in danger of going blue. They pass all kinds of laws that make no practical sense like banning lab-grown meat, which doesn't really exist yet; and the heat protection bans mentioned in the article. I think these people are sadistic and "the cruelty is the point" with these people.
Man, that bums me out as a non religious person. Because if any of that mythology they claim was real, at least there would be consequence after life.
The calming effect of believing climate denial. It is an expensive but powerful drug.
The sand will eventually be too hot to bury their heads in it.
