Too many people do not understand the difference between weather and climate.

And often, the people who laugh at “boomers” saying shit like “What global warming?” in weather events like this, don’t acknowledge or comprehend they’re doing the same damn thing, from the opposite perspective.

snekerpimp,

For being so smart, we are so dumb

themeatbridge,

It’s not just that we’re stupid. We’re also selfish.

Many are proud of their stupidity.

Viking_Hippie,

And their selfishness.

Huge difference between raw intellectual capacity and exercised utility.

You can have a 10 gallon bucket, but it’ll only carry that much water if you fill it.

Kingofthezyx,

We think we are smart enough to get away with it.

Great, but what is the “Great Plains” and how is it affecting me?

betheydocrime,

The “Great Plains” is where a lot of your food comes from, and humans must eat food in order to survive

prettybunnys,

And the southern US is where a lot of our produce comes from in the winter BUT now that they are losing the consistency of the jet stream maintaining milder temperatures they are seeing crop failure due to hard freezes they otherwise wouldn’t even have to contemplate worrying about.

We do not even know whether @obinice is from the US.

For those wanting to know, this Wikipedia article explains what area the name refers to.

betheydocrime,

Fair enough, I definitely need to work on not centering America in my view of the world, and a quick check of their comment history shows they’re from the UK

CaptDust,

In the United States, the Great Plains is the large stretch of land east of the Rockies, it contains parts of 10 states: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming , Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. It also extends up into Canada.

Yep that’s a shit post alright

superpants,

Seems too simplistic

HawlSera,

So that’s why that is

Sagifurius,

“let’s pretend we don’t understand La Nina and El Nino during this cyclical winter to push our current agenda. Anyone says “WTF” we brand as a science denier.”

HEY!!! Get your science and facts out of here!

I would tell this asshole to shut his stupid mouth, but my teeth froze together. I’ve got one finger left still working. Help me…

And also, it’s usually way colder than this here, and while it’s frigid, I’m fine. Happy even. I live in one of the parts that is supposed to be cold, and this is a nice regression to normal.

Tristaniopsis,

Ahem…. Shouldn’t that be ‘fewer’ ice?

Jumi,

Don’t worry, the Earth will heal >!once we’re gone!<
