Been colder this winter than usual for us Arizonans. I wish Tradition would hurry up and get green as I’m getting sick of this shit.

You're an idiot if you don't believe in global warming.
Re: an even more frightening perspective
Man, a while back I went on a date with this babely brunette.
She took pride in her willpower or whatever. To prove so, the example she uses right out the gate was outing herself as a climate change denier. She just went on and on about how the scientific community’s consensus just wasn’t enough of a consensus, so short of that, were all better off keeping our heads in the sand.
I tried asking at what doubling down on skepticism was reckless given the consequences otherwise, to no avail.
I wish I could have figured out how to politely differentiate between will power and just willfully ignorant. She was so stubborn about so many dumb things, and her personality just generally ruined it.
It was a shame too, cuz she was otherwise such a babe.
(If we had hooked up I would make some joke about pounding her hole even harder than co2 pounding a hole in the ozone, but nope)

And most importantly of all, the actual "science" of climate has long been overtaken by the politics of it, and the end goal of much of that politics is to control people's behavior, not save the world. (Which is why meat is the next target, and why I noted that it would be, as far back as the .commie days.)

A hamburger a week, but no more — that's about as much red meat people should eat to do what's best for their health and the planet, according to a report seeking to overhaul the world's diet.
Eggs should be limited to fewer than about four a week, the report says. Dairy foods should be about a serving a day, or less.
The report from a panel of nutrition, agriculture and environmental experts recommends a plant-based diet....

Re: an even more frightening perspective
commercially produced meat, imo, is a major thing americans could change. and as suggested, such a change would help on numerous fronts
Re: an even more frightening perspective
The last steak I had was in October. I rarely eat beef anymore because, for me, it is difficult to digest. Mostly eat chicken and fish (not necessarily healthier). A close friend of mine had a heart attack, which caused me to reassess how I eat.
Still eat eggs, but soft boiled.

Re: an even more frightening perspective
almost without fail i’d prefer venison, elk, or bison, over beef...bison for sure
Re: an even more frightening perspective
Doesn't matter what you prefer.
You don't tell me what to eat. I don't tell you.
It's that simple.
And yes, I try to eat about a pound of ground beef a day.
