I’ll note that heat stroke victims in Phoenix are more likely to survive this year than in the past due to ambulances stocking body bags full of ice.

Wow, this would have been too implausible to be an Onion story.

It’s fun to watch them suffer. They’ve all earned it.

I can speak for the OP but schadenfreude ia a thing, that aside speaking for mysel, I’m certinaly indifferent as I would be if a drunk driver crashed and complained about the car repairs, the inconvenience of not having a vehicle and the sore ribs. You were fucking drunk driving you shitty human being!

I’m also mindful of Karl Poppers “Tolerance of Intolerance,” if you tolerate these shit stains, you end up with civilisations collapse and an unlivable world. So while not agreeing with the person you responded to I can certinaly understand it. Theyre doing very real damage to other humans; women, minorities etc and intent on destroying the biosphere. They are literally and proudly the bad guys.

No, this isn’t “car driver crashes into a tree, complains about repairs”. This is “people with a different political opinion are suffering, yaaaaaay!”

No. Again, this has nothing to do with tolerance. This is 100% tribalism and “lesser man” philosophy. You can disagree with someone and not be celebrating when they get heatstroke, it’s basic empathy

You are doing the exact same right now - enjoying their suffering and wanting them to die

I don’t understand what happened with the left. Right wingers exercise their beliefs on the edge of sanity and it’s a proper place to suggest a new perspective that doesn’t contradict reality that much.

People on the left actively propose interesting ideas (eg: green new deal) — but the press is owned by a bunch of billionaires, which means that it actively supports right-wing positions. As a result, what you hear about is stories about how they’re secretly communist efforts, rather than any kind of evaluation of how those policy changes would affect people.

I’m indifferent to their suffering, not because of their political opinions, but they aren’t the frogs slowly heated in a pot, they’re the ones who threw themselves on the hot skillet even as they felt the heat to know the danger beforehand.

I pity the homeless, who can’t find safety in this heat, not the ones who had the means to avoid it and succumbed to it when they knew the danger

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
