Remember how Republicans have decided to make climate change denial a cornerstone of their agenda?

Anyway here's Brooklyn.

Here's a hailstorm from a couple weeks ago, in JULY, in Guadalajara, Mexico, which occurred despite temps at 88°F.

But climate change is a hoax.

Iceland just lost its first glacier. They had a plaque installed to commemorate humans' involvement. Researchers expect the rest of Iceland's glaciers to melt away in the next 200 years.

Totally normal, though.

Here are starving polar bears migrating all the way down to Russia because the ice has melted in the Arctic.

Kids can't leave the house to go to school. All super normal!

Temps on Sunday in the northernmost permanently inhabited spot on the planet, a settlement called "Alert," about 560 miles from the North Pole, hit 21°C (70°F).

The average temperate in July? 6°C (42°F).

Alaska is suffering a record-breaking heatwave as wildfires have burned more than 1.6 million acres.

Alaska.

Remember the once-in-a-lifetime hurricane that was Katrina? And then the once-in-a-lifetime hurricane that was Sandy? And then the once-in-a-lifetime hurricane that was Harvey?

Noticing a trend?

Republicans pretend climate change is a hoax because they get massive donations from fossil fuel companies. It's not rocket science.

As of the last general election, here are the top recipients of campaign funds from the Oil & Gas industry in both the House and the Senate:

The wildfires & hurricanes & heat waves & extreme weather will continue to get worse so long as we're "led" by politicians whose answer is to do nothing but deride libs and their reusable straws.

The GOP is profiting off of the destruction of humanity. Remember that in 2020.
