It’s likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents–and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.

The sick thing is most donors have so much hoarded wealth their entire lineage will never spend it l… But it’s worth letting the earth burn to accumulate more.
Gotta die with the highest score.
What’s so hard to understand about this? There is a very popular meme that explains this person’s perspective, it has a dog having a cup of coffee in a burning room saying “this is fine”
Reminder that the comic ends with the dog stressfully trying to put out the fire while whining that there was no reason to let it go that far.
Some of us think human extinction would ultimately be for the best, even for humans. There is no civilized future; it’s exploitation, violence and horror all the way to the end. The faster the end comes the less of all that there will be. Humanity is not suited for interstellar permanence, we are defective.
Or…
That’s nasty and almost outrageous. Meat shouldn’t be overcooked!
True, but neither regular pork nor long pork should be undercooked either. That’s how you get trichinosis…
I agree. I’m actually hoping for human extinction. We’re a cancer on the earth. If bees went extinct, the natural world would collapse. If ants went extinct, again, the natural world would collapse. If humans went extinct? Well, not much would happen except that the natural world would achieve equilibrium again.
To live is to suffer. Study. You’re almost there. The defect is intentional. Consoling the defect is enlightenment.
His idea is : As long as i and my rich friends live comfortably, fuck the next generation.
“Sure I have cognitive disconnect. I just don’t care though.”
“Climate change is real, and it’s a good thing. I hate winter” - him, probably
“I hate ice, it’s cold, it’s icy, and it gets everywhere.”

I mean, at one level it’s more logically valid to say we shouldn’t bother doing anything to compare combat climate change than saying climate change doesn’t exist.
It’s a weird level though.
To be fair, they never said that. Saying that efforts right now are awfully misguided and completely incompetent efforts to sell even more product, and increase consuption EVEN more, such as EV-s and so on, is not climate change denial…
Simple he is using the 4 stage strategy https://youtu.be/nSXIetP5iak?si=2mQDIfA0n9ZENrsF
This explains so much
Stage 2 of the four stage strategy.
Or perhaps even stage 3 but somehow even more detached.
Follow the money
This is a new strategy… I didn’t think it could get dumber.
It will.
if global warming is real, why come it still gets cold?
Checkmate Scientists! 🤓
lol yeah
I’ve heard that caring about the earth and the people who live on it is communism and I won’t stand for it.
If politicians lie, why come we still vote?
GOP is consistently contradictory. So are most dictators and their parties. This fits.
The reasoning is: money good. Polluters give me money. I am the polluters bitch.
Black Republican too. They’ll throw him into the void like they did Herman Cain.
Is the title a EU 4 reference?
It’s a reference to the movie Don’t Look Up. Not sure what EU is.
Not sure what EU is.
EU 4 = Europa Universalis 4, a strategy game about 1444-1821. The poster above is likely referring to this in-game event:
All the options for this event yield the same negative result, and the devs often add new ones (as a joke). And “there is no comet, please don’t look up!” does sound like the sort of stuff that those options say.
Europa Universalis IV, a grand strategy game by Paradox. Haven’t played it though, so idk the reference
EU is the European Union, a group of countries in Europe that share common laws with each other.
