Poll Finds Most People Would Rather Be Annihilated By Giant Tidal Wave Than Continue To Be Lectured By Climate Change Activists
The Babylon Bee ^ | December 12th, 2019

U.S.—A new study found that most people would rather be annihilated by a giant tidal wave caused by climate change than continue to be lectured by climate change activists.

Study participants were given the option of having the earth flooded by massive tidal waves or listening to virtue-signaling, smarmy lectures by environmentalists for the next decade. Over 87% of respondents selected, "Bring on the tidal wave." A few people said they'd rather take the lectures, but after hearing a few minutes of the lectures, quickly changed their minds. Several respondents rushed straight to the ocean, arms outstretched, and asked the sea to take us all.

"Come, sweet death," one man scrawled on the survey response form after hearing just 30 seconds of a Greta Thunberg lecture. "O, sweet release that ends my suffering on this mortal plane! Embrace me in your salty arms, great wave of destiny."

"Honestly, between Greta and the climate change, I'll take the climate change," said one man in Minnesota. "Heck, it's Minnesota, don't ya know. We could use a little warming. But even if it turns out to be catastrophic -- I'll take the tidal wave."

Fires, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, and bees also polled higher than the activists.

I had my doubts as well.

Cause I’d pick the tidal wave, too.

I’d also prefer the Tidal Wave to hearing “All I Want For Christmas is You”

I use two things on them:

“No one is going to live a crappier life to make climate nuts happy.”

“You are exactly right about Climate Change and completely wrong about its next direction.”

I’ll take a fire and brimstone apocalypse over the Pope’s sermons on climate change.

Satire? I don’t think this is satire. Bring on the wave! :)

Honest to Gaia, I hadn't read that until after I posted.

I'll opt for anything that will take them with me when I go. Asteroid strike, maybe.

It’s funny.

You are so right.

I tell people I am already doing my part. I hang out my laundry weather permitting, instead of throwing it in the dryer, and boy do they start with the excuses!!!!!!

They act like you’re asking them to cut off their right arm.

Reminds me of a movie, The Last Wave (1977).

Here’s a better option:

Let the “climate change activists” get annihilated by the giant tidal wave, and the normal folks go on living their lives in peace.
