Totally imagined cause for self-pitying pathos.

“She eventually checked herself into an overnight mental health facility.” Or so she thought. Turns out it was actually the DNC HQ.

One has to marvel at a person, living in Ontario, Canada, who is in such despair that giving up on life seems the only option -all because the temperature may have increased less that a degree F

It’s not like we are talking Death Valley here or something

Heh, those folks make it so easy for we STEM folks to identify those who’d fail a third grade arithmetic test.

Read a journalist about science and you get “the science guy” level logic.

..... Believe it or not there is a psychological term for people suffering from this .... it called Climatophobia: "The irrational or extreme fear of a changing climate or climate change"

.... Not to be mistaken, of course with Clamatophobia: ""The irrational or extreme fear of Clamato Juice."

Americans are being faced with two radically different visions of which direction the country should go.

With President Trump it’s make America great again

With the Democrats it’s make America Somalia, Guatemala, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and the Gaza.

“She eventually checked herself into an overnight mental health facility.”

Oh my! Probably caused her to miss the planned march where she and more like her put pink pussy hats on and embarrass themselves. Certainly makes me want to cry or something...

It’s hard to enjoy a season that’s a constant reminder that the world is getting warmer.”

Ah, if we could only back to those frosty cold summers we used to enjoy before things got messed up.

Is it odd, that I take a “dystopian future” to be tacit permission to shoot all the people who annoy me?

many people are suffering from what could be called “climate despair,” a sense that climate change is an unstoppable force that will render humanity extinct and renders life in the meantime futile.

That is an emotional state. Unresourceful and inappropriate emotional states can be recognized, managed, and transformed with the proper techniques. There is no need to make oneself miserable.

This was a good response.....”If these people are that scared of the future, why don’t they contribute to the future of the plant by stopping emitting CO2. Just QUITE breathing! Solves 2 problems at once! Less CO2, and it ends their anxiety. It has a third benefit. We don’t have to waste time listening to these morons. I believe it is called a win-win situation”...

The process of natural selection hasn’t ended, it has just shifted its victims.

Helping to straighten out the gene pool.

They can thank the climate promoters for this. A fitting outcome, if there ever was one!

Now, I WILL volunteer to work for Koolaid from the Kitchen (like Meals on Wheels) where we hand out Johnny Jones's Koolaid brand to those who wish to punch their ticket for the one-way outta here due to Climate Change. Man, I love that attitude of GivemewhatIwantorI'llkillmyself. Awesome.

”[Politically correct] 'Climate despair propaganda' is making people give up on life 'It's super painful to be a human being right now at this point in history'"

There! Fixed it.

“Summers have been stressful to me since having my son,”

Should of seen what it was like in the 1930s High Plains, and 1950s hot and humid Eastern Oklahoma. No AC either.

Here is a listing of the past temps for Tulsa OK. Look at the center where it says Hi Max, and look at the year. 1911, 1930s and 1950s were killers. No AC either.

Tell the grandkids about no air + no fans and they just can’t conceptually imagine that.
