I can’t help but laugh. Isn’t Phoenix home to some of the most vocal climate change deniers? Must be just local weather as it’s not happening anywhere on the world. Sicily experiences these kinds of temperatures on the reg.
What do you call those people who remove the filters from their exhausts? Smoke-drivers or something?
They can control the exhaust. It’s called “rolling coal.” They do it to me because I have a Prius. I don’t get it. “Haw haw! Yew pay less for gas than us!” Sorry I’m such an evil liberal for doing that?
You know why they think that. They believe, truly, that God made the world for man to exploit and use up, and anyone who says otherwise is spouting the Devil’s lies.
Some will claim to believe that it doesn’t matter one way or the other, that this is the only life we have, and that there’s no point in sacrificing our own joy for the future of others. This apathetic stance is held by many, but it is wielded as a shield and reinforced by those who believe that Earth is just a toy for us to have fun with and break, but won’t say it openly.
Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, this conflict is a religious one, and anyone who denies that is only enabling the wingnuts destroying this planet.
The attitude you are referring to goes hand-in-hand with Christian Dominionism. It really starts getting scary when you realize how many of the American oligarchs ascribe to this philosophy. Erik Prince and Betsy DeVos are two prominent examples but it’s everywhere in the GOP.

Very well said.

I don’t know if it’s fatalistic nihilism or nihilistic fatalism but it’s a death cult.
