I remember when conservatives were hooting and hollering about Climate Science Being Wrong, because the predicted "Worst hurricane season on record" wasn't producing a record number of powerful storms.

Well... now what? I guess we can fall back to Gaetz and DeSantis blaming Biden for a bad cleanup job. Or go the MTG approach and start talking about HARP and the Jewish Space Lasers.

Well... now what?

Years went by and Earth-destroying profits continued for all these years, again.
The goal was well defined, misinformation carefully funded, the results what they hoped for.

Eventually there won't be any insurer's left in those areas and most people will just abandon them. Of course the federal government will keep giving them flood insurance to rebuild over and over.

oh hey, all those east coasters can sell their worthless flooded houses to the west coast coasters selling their worthless burnt down houses fleeing the fires since no insurers will cover anywhere.

Then those people living along the Mississippi can sell their worthless houses to the people from new Orleans. It's foolproof.

They will probably say "it's just a hurricane, doesn't prove anything"

Climate deniers can never be dissuaded from their idiot beliefs by science, because they are already ignoring science to these beliefs in the first place.

I've always liked the phrasing "You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into".

Didn't you know those space lasers heated up the atmosphere just over Republican counties, to maximize the damage there?

I would simply not live in a majority GOP county. Seems like they were victims of a personal choice.
