Lying With Charts, Global Warming Edition

[XemaSab]

51. I am a firm believer that this is happening and it's gonna be hardcore when it really hits

That being said, I feel like deniers just deny for the sake of "Fuck you, hippie."

The little corner of my soul that IS a hippie wants to be like "Fuck you back, you knuckle-dragging, FOX News-watching, shack-dwelling, USA!USA!USA!-chanting, inbred motherfucker."

The rational part of my brain, though, says that the best argument against deniers is asking them if they really like taking it up the ass from the Saudis and other terrorist countries.

To play devil's advocate here, on the off chance that climate change ISN'T really happening or that it ISN'T manmade, why wouldn't we want to get off fossil fuels?

Fossil fuels have really fucked our foreign policy, destroyed our mountains and coastlines, and polluted our water and skies.

Moreover, at some point oil, coal, and natural gas will run out.

Why not tell the Saudis and other dictators and oppressive foreign powers to go to hell and create our own energy right here, right now?

It would create jobs and solve a lot of problems.

Besides, it's better to make a hard plan and stick to it now than be caught holding our metaphorical dicks when our supply is cut off.
