Weathering The Obvious

BY NOW its more than appartent that climate change is upon us, and is no longer a futuristic theory in waiting, unless super gigantic hurricanes in the eastern United States, massively devastating with massive wind and water, while simultaneously perpetual drought and perpetual wildfires consuming thousands of acres every day of the year in the American west, amid daily temperatures of one hundred degrees in places like Portland, Oregon, are normal, which they are not. Our only consolation, if you can call it that, since it is evident that over the next few years the daily weather over time (climate) will only become crazier and more extreme than it already has become, there exists at least a remote chance that American society will reach a "tipping point" in the fairly near future, in which as many as one half of conservative Republicans begin to understand and acknowledge that climate change, aka global warming, is not merely a hoax being perpetrated by the liberal community and the mainstream liberal media, which doesn't actually exist. We have not reached that tipping point, and there is no guarantee that we ever will. A majority of American conservatives still deny climate change; either they accept the reality of the change but claim that its caused by nature, not humans, or they deny it altogether, preferring to believe that our currently increasingly crazy weather is normal. This is not surprising, though, when one bears in mind that these (conservative Repbulicans, mostly evangelical Christians) are the same people who refuse to get vaccinated during the worst pandemic in American history, who claim tat Trump won the 2020 presidential election, and who insist that some day very soon God is going to come flashing down to Earth from the sky in a flaming chariot, to rapture the saved, about one hundred and forty four thousand of them, into heaven, while the rest of us stay put, and suffer. There is a reason why so many of the essays published by this website bash these people; they are delusional, dangerous, and must be prevented from gaining evern more political power than they already have, for the future health of the nation, assuming of course that a future healthy nation is possible any longer, which is a dubious possibility at best. In summary, the American far religious right has gone crazy, but is more than merely crazy, its evil, dangerous, and destructive to not only American society but to the entire human species and the biosphere which all life on Earth resides. It is the most dangerous political movement in human hsitory, as Noam Chomskky keeps warning us. We had better start heeding his warning.
