Florida got snow here!

Nobody calls it that. Gulf of Mexico Florida man here. Republicans I know think that's dumb and no one plans to say that

Gulf of Mexico. Don't fucking legitimize it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

it’s sarcasm, come on….
but i’d put it in quotes, or qualify it somehow….
like: the supposedly “Gulf of America”.

Gulf of Mexico, you mean. The gulf of America is something that doesn't exist

The Gulf of America is the wealth gap between the poor and the ultra-rich.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

I believe the Gulf of America is actually in Russia

[–] [email protected] 41 points 20 hours ago

Don’t even entertain the name with a joke. That’s lending it legitimacy.

All this “””global warming””” bs is climate extremism! /s

It’s so bad that the temperature where I live (Edmonton, Alberta) barely gets below freezing during winter when it should be around -15 to -20C in December and January. Last winter, we barely had snows save a few snowstorms. Every summer, the city fills with smoke from yearly wildfires and it gets hard to breathe.

The climate was never like this in the last 10 years, yet people still say climate change isn’t human caused or doesn’t exist

If they officially changed the name, then that would probably affect a shitton of laws, contracts, treaties, government policies, and who knows what else that reference the "gulf of Mexico"

[–] [email protected] 92 points 1 day ago

I will not upvote any post that says gulf of America, regardless of being a joke. Fuck you.

Im not going to call it the Gulf of America. That's embarrassing.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'll call it the Gulf of Carl's Jr

Because that's where we're at.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

I just realized Trump probably thinks it's the Golf of Mexico

Still think its weird he didn't start with changing new Mexico to something else but instead the gulf.

Should be called the Gulf of Water

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What’s the reasoning there?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

There's more water in it than there is America.

I don't think people believe that climate change doesn't exist. I think they just think it's either caused by natural factors or not as dangerous. I bet that 90% of the people are aware of the climate change.

From the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works

You can argue Inhofe is being cynical, but there's plenty of O&G heads in his district who make more money as denialists than serious inquisitors.

Gulf of America

No such place.

Sure there is, it's right off the American Ocean (not to be confused with the West American Ocean).

Ridicule is a tool. It's a pity you lack a sense of humour, it helps.

Trump fixed global warming, you filthy libural

Nothing is ever good enough for y'all

Sooooooo back in 2008 when I lived in Houston, we got a solid inch of snow.. and the year before that when I was in California, it froze so bad the pipes burst…

I used to joke I brought the Midwest with me but it turns out it was just climate change :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

Why not call it gulf of Spain? And while we’re at it they can have Florida back.
