I said no right wing propaganda sites.
Link? (Not to some deep right-wing propaganda site)
Now stop being silly (if you can) and understand that one event does not have a causal relation to another simply because you want it to.
They are ALL propaganda sites, doofus.
If you knew how to verify info, you could navigate the landscape better.
So let me axe youz sumpin.
Do you believe in climate clange and acknowledge a human caused component, or are you like the conservatives in the 50s who thought Rock n Roll was the DEVILLL"S music,
and the conservatives in the 60's who thought marijewanna was thet DEVILLLL'S WEED,
and the conservatives in the 70s who thought that healthy food and alternative medicine were
COMMUNIST PLOTS?
You see - you people are always decades behind as I've pointed out in as many ways as I can think of here and there. So you go on believing what you do but know that 30 or 40 years from now a goodly number of cons will accept the fact of man made climate change,
of course, they will still be decades behind forward thinkers on the issues of that day.
1. If climate change is a scientific fact, it doesnt REQUIRE belief. I'm going to give some friendly advice here, okay? Can we have a "good faith" exchange for a minute?
It IS a fact that the climate is changing. So dont ever use the word "believe" here. It has a religious connotation. You dont "believe in" facts. You either accept facts or you dont. Ask instead "Do you know the climate is changing?" This little thing will help you keep control of the convo. You dont want to get all turned around in 20 directions.
I dont think anyone besides those among us who have chosen full blown conspiracy deny the climate is changing. More than not, I see people talking PAST eachother on this.
On the right(not even including conspiracy people...that's a whole other thing) you have people who have no problem with climate change. The debatable parts of the climate change "debate" is how much human activity is contributing to it and what steps....if any....we should take in response.
What's also debatable is the whole "we are gonna die in 20 years!" thing. Scientifically we dont KNOW if this is going to be bad. We just dont. It could be....sure. Or....it could just change our climate and the world adjusts. We truly dont know this.
And you SHOULD know as well as everyone that politicains are shit bags .. ..and they will weaponize issues to promote agendas. Agendas that really only benefit them and those who give them money.
The concerning thing with this climate discussion is that very drastic and costly measures are going to be taken. That Paris agreement raises energy costs something like 20k a year. (Not totally sure if I'm correct on that.....I think it's the raise takes it up to 20k a year or something like that. I'll have to check if youd like a citation on that I'll get what I read)
There are many parts of this climate change policies that will directly harm the poor and working. All for an issue where we just dont know how the outcome will be.
Maybe a slow transition that doesnt involve hidden communism is something everyone could get on board with.
And calling others "you people" isnt how you get others on board with you. I'm not a conservative. However.....you may want to consider that as soon as those old school conservatives "got with the times" ......our society turn a hard turn into the suck. Financial crisis. Single parenthood. Human trafficking. Drug addiction. Break down of the family. H.....no one is thanking boomers for the "future" we live in. We live in a hypersexual chess pool of mental illness, higher teen suicide rates and women are generally miserable as compared to "the good old days".
You got people my age listening to remakes of that Judds song and every. Single. One of us starts crying at the chorus part that "Families really bowed their heads to pray, daddies really never go away"

Point being ......H.....its VERY debatable that our modern society is a good place. The Conservatives were RIGHT. The sexual revolution was a terrible mistake and MY generation is paying for it.
So I'm not sure why you say conservatives "had to be dragged" into the future with such pride. Because the future you guys drug us into is a fucking cold, exploitive, selfish and heartless place. And data shows that. There are millions of people yearning for a simpler time where families are a supported thing and marriage means something and you dont have to be upper middle class to stay home with your children and kids can play outside all day without child trafficking being a worry.
You guys didnt do us any favors.
