Liberal Blogger Uses Tornado In Joplin To Attack Republicans; Seriously
-
Proving once again that the only kind of doomsday predictions that are acceptable are one’s that deal with global warming, Little Green Footballs uses the tragedy in Joplin to worry about global warming. Not only that, which is expected, but as an added bonus, an attack on the Republican Party is made. From LGF:
In Joplin, Missouri, dozens of families are in mourning today after a killer tornado struck with very little warning last night. The property damage is immense, and clean-up will take months. Three quarters of the city of Joplin has been destroyed.
As part of the aftermath, we must note that these recent weather disasters have long been predicted by climate scientists, as one of the consequences of global warming.
It may be impossible to say with certainty whether any particular case is directly attributable to climate change, but we’re going to be seeing more of these kinds of extreme weather events, and they’re going to increase in frequency. And unfortunately, even if there are measures we could take to start reversing the trends (and there are), we have a very large percentage of Americans who’ve been convinced by the Republican Party and Fox News that scientists are liars, and there’s nothing to worry about.
Following the disaster in Joplin, the right wing denial machine is already kicking into high gear with a blizzard of misinformation (charts and graphs and everything!), led by Anthony Watts with an article in the Daily Caller.
This storm of denial has very real effects, even in the short term. In the 2011 federal spending bill, the GOP slashed the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s budget, and killed a $700 million overhaul of our aging environmental satellite system…
Oh, but the world may not end for one billion years. I wonder who Charles Johnson will blame for the volcano erupting in Iceland? Never mind the fact that he acknowledges that there is nothing we can do about global warming.
