And yet many just double down. I get the same thing with fundies and creationists on my YouTube channel:

These false "prophets" should have their words thrown in their faces over and over again:

And these idiots are essentially saying don't hold Donald accountable for his treason:

This is highly disappointing:
"Oil, natural gas and coal accounted for 81% of the world's energy consumption in 1990. Thirty years later — in 2020 — that figure dropped to 80%, mainly because of the pandemic, according to the International Energy Agency."

In case it's not clear that those were Christian terrorists who stormed the Capitol:
This is just delicious! These same people who cosplay being military men who love their guns may end up not being allowed to own guns:

I had a serious case of Schadenfreude reading this:
The good news is that the GOP may be dying. The bad news is that they're mostly MAGAts now. We need a HEALTHY second party, not a freakshow:
Some really good insight into the chaotic mess of motivations exhibited by the rioters:

Climate change really is the #1 challenge we face, and it's stunning that so many people deny or ignore it:
This is a pretty horrific story. Another reason I'm not a fan of China:

Good, lots of options for prosecuting the terrorists:
And 2016 was an El Niño year, making it unusually warm. The 2010s were the hottest decade. It's only going to keep getting worse....
I once made a video detailing how Trump fits virtually all the criteria for a fascist. He hasn't proved me wrong:
