These people are really not OK
Usually, a story like this starts with a quick roundup of alarming statistics and a reminder of all the latest climate disasters: heat domes, floods, hurricanes, etc. I’m going to skip that part. Most of us get it already. We understand with our rational minds that the climate is changing, and we feel that it is changing in the deepest pit of our gut, where dread and fury live.
A poll conducted by Yale and George Mason University researchers in September found that 70 percent of Americans are worried about climate change, and 47 percent describe themselves as “angry” about it. I’m in both of those groups. In my 15 years as an environmental journalist, I’ve always been able to ground myself on a bedrock optimism that humanity will get its act together. Lately, though, as the pandemic has dragged toward its third year, the West has continued to burn, drought has parched my part of the world, and climate action has stalled at the federal level even with Democrats in control, that has changed. I am burned out. For some people, this might manifest as fatigue, or disengagement. For me, it’s anger. On a near-daily basis, I can feel my blood sizzling in my veins.
Living in the era of climate change makes us feel lots of things: guilt for our own part in heating the planet, grief for what we have lost and will lose, fear about the future—and anger at selfish decisions made by the powerful people who got us to this moment. How do those who think about climate change every day keep getting up every morning? Taking care of their mind and body is a priority for all of the people I spoke with for this story, but so was something else: using their anger.
Strange, they never feel anger at themselves for failing to practice what they preach. Just wait till they are forced to do so by Government: I wonder how angry they’ll be then?
“There’s always either a slow burn of anger and, like, a raging fire of sadness, or vice versa,” Mary Heglar, an essayist and a co-host of the podcast Hot Take, told me. “When I’m deep in despair, I’m doing all the self-care … but when I’m deep in anger, that’s when it’s time to get active.”
Well, these people seem to be perpetually angry/upset over something. Their Cult leaders have indoctrinated them to feel that way, so they’ll give up their money, freedom, liberty, and life choices.
Yesterday I watched a video by Miranda Divine of the NY Post which showed dozens of filthy illegal aliens , ALL MEN BETWEEN 18 & 35, being flown at 2AM in the dark of night by the US government to cities around the country. They were then picked up by Uber and private taxis and moved to “undisclosed” living facilities in cities and towns all around America..
Not only is this illegal by federal and state laws it is an impeachable offense for the fake president to allow (encourage) this vile practice. We are being replaced by foreigners. Why?
Let’s go Brandon, take away our birthright quicker or you may lose an election.
The Bible commands us to treat the as we treat each other Teach the cost of global fossil fuels is SKYROCKETING
Natural gas prices have doubled in the past year
Uh, not really.
Have another toke, Johnnie.

Bwaha! Lolgf
Hairy, exactly what are we to treat as we treat each other? It seems funny the only time you care about what the Bible says is when your misinterpretation of it is leftist. Odd in’it?
And Hairy, in case you haven’t noticed the price of everything is skyrocketing under the biden junta. He started on fossil fuels on day one and hasn’t relented since. I’m surprised gas has only doubled under this asshole. I got bacon today and it has doubled at my market since last summer alone. Soon when he starts a new war then you’ll see skyrocketing prices. And more dead Americans to be replaced with S. American, Africans and Muslims. What a guy!
Let’s go Brandon, more prices to raise, more poor and working people to hurt and more inflation to kill their buying power.
TG Brenda!, TG Brenda!, TG Brenda!: I’m surprised gas has only doubled under this asshole.
Gas is up about 50% since 2020.
In 2016 gas was $2.14/gal, in 2017 $2.42, in 2018 $2.72, in 2019 $2.60, in 2020 $2.17.
It jumped some 30% under the previous asshole between 2016 and 2018. Gas was higher in 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. From 2012 to 2016 gas prices dropped from $3.52 to $2.14! Good job, Barack! Then that trump asshole drove them up again!
Gas prices are volatile. Yawn.
So gas has gone up under the child rapist biden? Thanks, that’s the point I was tying to make without going batshit crazy looking up numbers like you did. You really are nuts aren’t you? Now can you do the same for coffee, sugar, bacon, housing, car prices, electricity and the rest of what biden the baby fk’er has ruined? Let’s go Brando!
We guess when he gets us in a war to secure the boundaries of Ukraine you’ll be touting the senile fag as Napoleon. You won’t have to, he will himself. How’s he doing on the supply chain?
How’s that inflation thing going while we’re at it? We’ve noticed not only did biden fail to “crush” Covid he even managed to make it worse, kill more Americans than died under Trump with no “vaccine” and damage and ruin more children with ridiculous mask mandates for the one group who is almost impervious to Covid. You Democrats are always in the market for new and clever ways to murder and maim kids, aren’t ya. From the womb to to tomb you’ll get them any way you can. Mengele is looking up at you guys and waving! In your case he’s blowin’ you a kiss.
Dowd, if you could remove your lips from biden’s pecker long enough could you let us know when/if he’s ever wrong?
We don’t know who you think you’re fooling but by any measure biden the kid sniffer is the worse president(?) ever. Hell, the first 2,3 (?) times he ran he was blitzed. Finally you got him in by cheating then ignoring the cheat.
Let’s go Brandon, Dowd needs a plus on your side before your polls slip to the teens.
TG Brenda!: So gas has gone up under the child rapist biden?
Donald J Trump raped a 13 year old girl in Epstein’s Manhattan mansion. Like you, tRump is a sick fuk.
LOL. Heaven forbid someone “look up numbers” to refute your bullshit. LOL.
Perhaps if you took some time to “look up numbers” rather than just accepting what your masters, Mother Tucker and the Gateway Pudendum tell you, you would be more persuasive.
DJT: “The economy will go up 3, 4, 5 even 6 percent!” Didn’t happen with trump. On the other hand, the roaring economy just increased 5.7% – thanks President Biden! Unemployment now 3.9%. Stock market soaring. These things tend to be inflationary. The economy is so good that The Fed will start raising rates to cool it off! For the first time in forever, the US will start upgrading its rotting infrastructure.
Anti-vax, anti-mask connies continue to die from Covid. As Mr Dana would say, these deaths though tragic, make America stronger.
The lack of self-awareness is amazing. “from 2012 to 2016 gas prices dropped from $3.52 to $2.14. 1Thanks Barack!
Of corse his whole plan was that “energy prices will necessarily skyrocket”. So in other words he was so inept that he couldn’t even do something that Brandon is doing with ease..
That gasoline prices dropped from $3.52 to $2.14 from 2012 to 2016 is a fact. Barack Obama was President.
According to Jl, President Obama was inept in keeping gasoline prices down!
The lack of self-awareness is amazing.
Does Jl believe that US presidents control gasoline prices?
In the first Star Trek pilot, “The Cage,” eventually released as the two-part “The Menagerie”, Captain Christopher Pike discovered that the Talosians couldn’t read minds through strong hatred. Alas! The castaway, Vina, who had been there for 18 years, told him that she knew that, but that a human simply couldn’t keep it up long enough.
So, when Emma Marris, the author, tells us that, “For me, it’s anger. On a near-daily basis, I can feel my blood sizzling in my veins,” she is telling us that she is mentally ill. The kind of anger she describes, daily, pervasive, is the kind of thing that takes over your life, in a wholly unhealthy way.
Dowd: “Does Jl believe that US presidents control gasoline prices?”
Don’t you? You keep comparing everybody to bidenthehairsniffer. Presidents may not physically control gas prices Dowd but when they deliberately stop drilling, stop developing and stop pipelines they sure do effect it. Or do you disagree.
BTW, here is the ACYUAL visual chart of prices under the child molesters junta:

Let’s go Brandon, more consumers to screw, more small businesses to close and another $31,000,000 to get in pay-offs from Ukraine. The grift goes on.
