The water is up to his ankles -- but he still doesn't believe climate change is real

Published 1 min ago on October 11, 2020
By Agence France-Presse



Daniel Schexnayder has water up to his ankles as he stands outside, surveying damage to his home inflicted by Hurricane Laura six weeks before Louisiana was pummeled by a second storm, Delta.

But he still does not believe in climate change.

“I’m on the other side. I’m with Trump,” the 58-year-old carpenter said only hours after Delta had rumbled destructively through the tiny Louisiana town of Iowa, just outside Lake Charles.

And yet scientists agree that global warming is a proven phenomenon, caused by man and rendering hurricanes both more frequent and more violent.

Hey Daniel, did or does any of your tv stations compare the land mass from lets say 1700 to the present 2020, excluding the Mississippi River erosion has any of those stations kind of explained to "you" and the cult, that every time there is a hurricane, your "delta" region shrinks and have you figured out why your insurance premiums keep going up and why everyone that don't live in the region has to pay for stupidity to reclaim that land.............

The question should be, “do you UNDERSTAND that climate change is real and human driven?”

Religion & beliefs are just like worshiping Thor, Wonder woman, The Black Panther, & Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Get your head out of your ass & worship science!

The day we signed the papers on the house one of the lawyers remarked on how many people Hillary Clinton had killed. A few more around the table chimed in with agreement.

The remainder of us had the exact same stony face but each of us looked at the other and we all had the same twinkle in our eyes as well. Once the other team left, we all burst into laughter.

There are other liberals here but you have to get busy to find them.

We try to talk to people but some minds have been closed so long they have rusted shut.
