MAGA billionaires require that Texans ignore the connection between Greg Abbott's public corruption with the oil industry AND climate change flash floods that drowns children.

There's nothing normal about summers with heat domes, wildfires, & floods.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social what is the point though. Lalala I can't hear you? That is not gonna change what is happening. History is still here. USA has never been an authoritative force on climate change. Any changes will be seen as lobbyism extreme and not second opinion.

@peteriskrisjanis@toot.lv @dangillmor@mastodon.social if the US move farther away from taking measures to curb their emissions, it also affects the rest of the world. That is why this is bad.
Not the denial itself or the consequences for those who deny it, but for everyone else.
They are dragging us down with them. Even if all other countries were climate neutral, if the US keep spewing out emissions on an industrial scale, it would still get worse. Just slower.
We need the US to curb emissions
