If only we had hurried those solar shield/blocker thingies we would be fine now instead of suffering as we are. Nature WILL take you out if you ain’t aware. Even then......😁👍

Because liberals are too stupid to understand what a solar flare or coronal mass ejection means, so…Sun storm…
Who’s surprised that things are dumbed down for the willingly ignorant and stupid.

Hmm, makes me wonder if the sun could have something to do with a hot summer. Nah, it’s some cows farting. And you climate deniers don’t try selling me on the idea that if you gathered all greenhouse gas emitters and then compared them to sun that the emitters would be infinitesimally small. That makes no sense. Why should I use thought and logic when I can emote and eat bugs?
