I honestly think the flat earthers are just "edgelords" who are saying it to stoke up a reaction. Don't get me wrong, I know there are a few idiots who probably genuinely believe it, just like bible literalists, but I don't think it's as rife as people think (or at least that's my hope).

Government Report Finds Drastic Impact of Climate Change on U.S.

The draft report by scientists from 13 federal agencies, which has not yet been made public, concludes that Americans are feeling the effects of climate change right now. It directly contradicts claims by President Trump and members of his cabinet who say that the human contribution to climate change is uncertain, and that the ability to predict the effects is limited.

“Evidence for a changing climate abounds, from the top of the atmosphere to the depths of the oceans,” a draft of the report states. A copy of it was obtained by The New York Times.

The authors note that thousands of studies, conducted by tens of thousands of scientists, have documented climate changes on land and in the air. “Many lines of evidence demonstrate that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse (heat-trapping) gases, are primarily responsible for recent observed climate change,” they wrote.

The report was completed this year and is a special science section of the National Climate Assessment, which is congressionally mandated every four years. The National Academy of Sciences has signed off on the draft report, and the authors are awaiting permission from the Trump administration to release it.

I don’t think anybody believes it is rife.

People are woke because it is so strawberry floating stupid that it is amazing that anybody (outside of children and the clinically insane) believes it. People are shook.

Am I doing that right Hexx?

It's the Bible literalists I can't stand, and there's probably a fair few of them in Washington. :dread:

Yeah, they are rife in America. Fossils were put there by God to test your faith.

The one good thing you can say about Trump is that he isn’t a crazy Christian (except when he has to pretend to be). He’s just crazy.

I actually can't comprehend how people coped with the day to day stress of imminent nuclear annihilation during the Cold War.

Fire and Fury sounds like the new Shock and Awe.

Would be interesting to see if the Defence mechanisms actually work, I guess.

I mean something has to be done about North Korea at some point obviously, but it's just TYPICAL if it has to be during a period Trump is in office.

The anger I'm going to feel for the split second I realise what's happening, that I'm going to die horribly because 'her emails', is going to be immense.

The sheer pointless stupidity of it all.

Most likely they got by because they had zero ability to change the situation even if they really tried so just thought "strawberry float it I'll just carry on as normal".

That's always is and always will be the case until we invent cyborgs.

I'm hoping they invent them just before I die so I can stick myself into a nice cyborg body.

I just hope I'm not at work at the time as that'll just make me even more depressed :cry: .

Decided to have a look at how Gaf is reacting to the news...

OK I'm seriously strawberry floating shaking right now. This is getting scary real fast.

Well. A lot of these people gooseberry fool the bed at the sound of the toilet flushing, so can't say I'm surprised.
