My hubby was helping a neighbor scoop out their drive this morning when our neighborhood moron

[redstatebluegirl]

came by. He yelled at my husband "hey scientist what do you think about global WARMING now"? My husband yelled back, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste". He didn't seem to get it, he looked confused and kept walking.

I also need to say, all of our neighbors were helping each other get their cars out so they could go to work, except the people who normally have Trump signs all over their yards and cars, they didn't help anyone.

[Thekaspervote]

1. Irony..wasted on the stupid!!

[iluvtennis]

32. + agree. nt

[ailsagirl]

59. Went right over his little noggin!

[Major Nikon]

65. I wouldn't say wasted

The best part is those who don't get it

[rurallib]

2. it is probably against some law to scoop out your driveway

and dump the snow on his.

[redstatebluegirl]

5. We gave it some serious thought.

18. Shhh. Wait til Spring/summer. Mint seeds all over his yard.

[appleannie1]

26. Oregano is even worse than mint.

And it is much harder to get rid of.

[niyad]

27. Thank you for that valuable information!

[pansypoo53219]

43. bees loved basil that kept coming back.

i would have said seasonal dumbass. plus more chances of this BECAUSE GW. LONGER + COLDER.

[appleannie1]

44. The bees are the only reason I grow it in it's separate garden space. The seeds still manage to

blow to other areas.

[LiberalFighter]

37. Don't you mean Weed?

[niyad]

49. Nah. Not everybody has access to that, and I don't know its growing habits.

[Nay]

39. Ooooooh. Biological weapons. I like it!

[niyad]

50. Shhh, mere gardening accident. Can't help if the wind blows!

[tanyev]

3. I think it's going to cause many more extreme weather events!

[redstatebluegirl]

4. Of course it is, but the morons see global warming and think if it is cold it isn't the same thing.

Not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

[ironman99]

30. Knives in a drawer?

Heck, they ain't the sharpest knives in a box of dull knives!

[plimsoll]

46. Well, I have a cheeseburger.

Therefore there can't be world hunger.

[treestar]

6. Local weather conditions

prove something about the entire planet. Right wingers don't do science. Or thought.

[StClone]

7. It is, dear neighbor, pretty much as predicted

Jimbo needs and explanation why it is record cold in Texas now it IS VERY MUCH A Climate change effect! https://www.dw.com/en/cold-winter-global-warming-polar-vortex/a-56534450

What does the genius say to the documented fact Texas’s climate is changing? Most of the state has warmed between one-half and one degree (F) in the past century https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-09/documents/climate-change-tx.pdf

Historic cold spells, overall trends of hotter, drier, wetter, more powerful hurricanes: It is all in evidence.

[IronLionZion]

14. Here's a Vox explainer

https://www.vox.com/22287295/texas-uri-climate-change-cold-polar-vortex-arctic

The main issue is warming near the arctic has weakened the jet stream that keeps cold air circulating there. So that cold air comes down to places like Texas who aren't prepared for it.

[Mr. Evil]

19. Yup.

Qtrumper gasbags also don't realize that it's winter in our Northern Hemisphere and cold. It's summer in the Southern Hemisphere and hot.

[BumRushDaShow]

42. That's because they think the earth if "flat"

and not a "sphere", so is the same everywhere all year.

[dalton99a]

21. +1

[LittleGirl]

25. That's a great graft thanks! Nt

[StClone]

33. Thanks...the graph is what I linked

Along with an article.

[Duppers]

28. Also called "bifurcations" in a system

Unstable systems do this before making a permanent 1-sided change.

And yes, totally predicted by climate scientist, which of these assholes would have known if they'd read much of anything about it.

But reading anything is forbidden in their cultist culture.

👍

[yonder]

8. Perfect and that's the way it's done. Derailed him right off his narrow gauge short line.

He didn't quite get to the destination he thought he was headed for.

[lame54]

9. It will be interesting to see...

If there is a Texas attitude change concerning working together with other states when this is over

Regardless it needs to be done but I hope it opens some eyes

[zipplewrath]

51. Unfortunately

People who are born in Texas tend to vote Democrat. People that migrate to Texas, tend to vote Republican. There's alot of migration to Texas, from northern states.

[AdamGG]

57. I thought that was somewnat the opposite

Aren't a lot of the people who move to Texas for tech/academia/business jobs relocating from blue states?

[zipplewrath]

64. Demographics

This information came out of the 2018 election. Texas was supposed to be turning blue. It was noted that if it weren't for the influx of people from out of state, it would have already. But GQP from other states keep moving there.

[roamer65]

10. Imagine a world where these idiots were just gone.

It would be a great place.

[Nay]

53. It would be a great place, and the overpopulation problem would be solved. nt

[Traildogbob]

11. It's a shame

They don’t have Jewish friends that would shoot space lasers at the ice and melt it all. “better call Sau”.

[Traildogbob]

13. A foot note

If powerful Jews had space lasers Marjorie Green, you really think any Nazis would be in the open here and now? No, it would be an ultimate video game to them now. Oh my, Video game developers, here is you new best seller for 2021.

[mzmolly]

12. We likely need to change the langage

for the simple minded.

[forgotmylogin]

36. Yeah "Climate Change"

Ugh, the idiots who think that "global warming" means that winter doesn't happen...

[mzmolly]

48. Exactly.

Frustrating, to be sure.

[usaf-vet]

15. Unfortunately we'd stand a better chance convincing a stonewall that climate change is what.....

.... Texas sees right now. Again, unfortunately, they won't let us teach truthful science classes anymore. So we can teach the next generation how global warming does affect the weather the southern states are seeing.

And sadly, many of the nation's public school textbooks arise from Texas sources. So the polluted teachings (lies) spread nationwide.

[Initech]

16. I would have said "It's called climate change".

And it works on extreme cold as much as it does extreme heat, and we're getting a preview of what it would be like if climates were flipped. Mother nature is pissed.

[BobTheSubgenius]

17. Oddly, I don't find either of those paragraphs to be surprising.

Not at all.

[niyad]

20. Your husband was very polite. I, not so politely, remind such idiots that it is properly called

Catastrophic climate change, or C3 (from the Copenhagen climate summit).

[paulkienitz]

22. The impact of both Trump and Limbaugh was to make people feel they had permission to be assholes.

[Duppers]

29. Zactly.

Can't be said too many times.

They're fuckin' assholes.

[SpankMe]

23. RW-ers don't like complexity

One artifact of net global warming is extreme weather - both hot and cold. The heating of the oceans revises weather patterns resulting in wide temperature swings and disturbed precipitation distribution. The routing of the jet stream changes and brings super cold weather down in to areas that are unaccustomed to it.

This summer when the Earth's tilt points the northern hemisphere toward the sun again, I have no doubt that we'll see Texas breaking heat records as the extremes and jet stream routing go the other way.

The smart people who run Texas' utilities recognize this and will write up lessons-learned for how to avoid heat-caused power shut-downs in summer. But, the dumb people who make up Texas' elected government will ignore this and cause more Texas death.

...all while vacationing in Canada to get out of the heat...at least partially at public expense. Ain't "liberty from regulations" great?

[3catwoman3]

24. I wish the term "climate change" had been used from the beginning.

“Global warming” makes it too easy for non-thinkers and misinformation types to Ignore or deny what is happening.

[Drahthaardogs]

31. Climate is not weather, some people are too stupid

To understand that

[Tess49]

34. Credit where credit is due. My ex- trumper neighbor shoveled my driveway, sidewalk, and

cleared a path to my mail box. Then, she went to the neighbor on the other side of her house, and did the same for him. He is in his 90's, I'm in my 70's. She is tough as nails, and has helped me in many other ways. I feel blessed to have her as a neighbor.

[rocktivity]

35. He should have replied

"If we'd stopped it when we had the chance, global warming wouldn't have made it this far."

[patphil]

38. They didn't help anyone? Perhaps they were too busy self-serving.

[Jon King]

40. The level of stupid in America is off the charts....

Just so many dummies from generation after generation. I just had a conversation with a young affluent mother who was playing on the next court to us with her little kid. After a minute I realized we had another Trump moron in our midst. She proceeded to educate me how the virus was fake and masks are bad for you....meanwhile I just let her go on and on, not telling her I have a MS degree in microbiology. Amazing how every Trumper knows more about every subject than anyone else, no matter how much the other person's experience.

The very dumbest among us have zero clue how dumb the actually are. Dunning-Kruger in full effect.

[raising2moredems]

56. You can't fix stupid

[Grins]

41. "What do YOU think about unfettered "Free Markets" and deregulation now?"

And come to think about it, that "soshilust!!! federal assistance your state is NOW BEGGING FOR to help you, not to leave out more than A FEW hurricanes?

[flying_wahini]

45. My protest sign (one of many) says

Your inability to grasp scientific ideas is not a valid argument against it.

[lpbk2713]

47. Wait until August.

Ask him how his electric bill compares to the previous August.

Damn shame, but every neighborhood has its quota of bozos.

[hadEnuf]

52. The poor dolt is so stupid he thinks global warming only means it gets warm out.

He should try the Weather Channel for some post 3rd grade education instead of Fox news propaganda.

[soldierant]

54. Y'know, I'm not a scientist,

let alone a climatologist, but for over 25 years I have regarded heavy snows where I am - Colorado Springs - as a sign of global warming, not an argument against it.

I mean, snows like the one in '94 that dropped snow right up to the top of my windows - and blocked the door. Seriously, where do they think that snow is coming from? Certainly not from around here! We are basically high desert, only a little mitigated by landscaping. No, that's got to be Arctic snow, displaced by the warming of the planet.

That's not exactly scientific, and it certainly doesn't take into consideration polar vortices and Los Niños (and Las Niñas), and other known phenomena ... but it's close enough.

[MLAA]

55. Go Hubby and red state blue girl! 🙂

[greenjar_01]

58. Is "scoop out their drive" a way of saying "shovel their driveway"?

Genuinely curious.

[redstatebluegirl]

60. Yes.

[greenjar_01]

61. Cool. Never heard that before

[redstatebluegirl]

62. I was raised on a farm in Illinois.

We called shovels we used to move grain around in the trucks "scoop shovels". Dad always told us to scoop the path to the barn after a snow so I have always said scoop the driveway.

[Snoopy 7]

63. not Global Warming

Only those who don't have their nose up fox's butt understand that it isn't global warming it's CLIMATE CHANGE...
