No Republican Congressman from Texas would vote for climate change legislation in a million years. Add 50 years to that makes 1,000,050 years. I guess if it happens it will be without the help of any Texas Republican, assuming Texas is still around in the year 1,002,072.

There is a way to get it done.

It ain't whatever the hell Joe* and the Democrats are doing right now.

Fucking Hummers are going to make a comeback with the backlash to the Biden* years.

There is no future where a majority of Republican Congressmen from Texas would vote for any kind of climate change legislation. But if the word "Texas" is substituted for "China" in the following true news story then maybe one or two Republican Congressmen would vote for the legislation, but all the rest would vote against until the day they die in the heat or a hurricane or a flood.

Heatwave in China is the most severe ever recorded in the world

According to weather historian Maximiliano Herrera, who monitors extreme temperatures around the world, it is the most severe heatwave recorded anywhere.

“This combines the most extreme intensity with the most extreme length with an incredibly huge area all at the same time,” he says. “There is nothing in world climatic history which is even minimally comparable to what is happening in China.”

All of the Republican Congressmen from Texas have REJECTED EVERY POSSIBLE WAY to handle climate change. That leaves only the IMPOSSIBLE ways:

While he’s not exactly known for embracing science, U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert pondered the climate change conundrum during a hearing this week. Rather than reducing waste or cutting carbon emissions, the East Texas Republican proposed another, less conventional method: Why not just move the Earth altogether?

In a clip from the hearing, Gohmert stated that a NASA director had told him the Earth's and moon’s orbits are slightly shifting. Then, the congressman asked whether a U.S. land agency could alter those orbits to fight climate change.

Is there anything that the National Forest Service or BLM [Bureau of Land Management] can do to change the course of the moon’s orbit or the Earth’s orbit around the sun?” Gohmert said, directing his question to an expert. “Obviously, that would have profound effects on our climate.”

Well, yeah. Obviously.

You need to get out of Texas once in a while.
You post as if Texas was the only thing that exists on the globe.

Oh, that, and Russia. RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA!

The world only has Putin and Texas Republicans in it. Ukraine pops into existance once in a whle, too, but winks out again.

I have met my Congressmen. Louie Gohmert isn't mine but he is stupider in real life than this story makes him appear. All the Republicans I know, other than the richest ones, live stupidly and don't know it. The silly retards brag about their minuscule accomplishments.

The flooding in Pakistan is a climate catastrophe with political roots

Flash floods over the weekend left one-third of Pakistan submerged from weeks of heavy rains.

The catastrophic flooding has affected 33 million people, about 15 percent of the population, according to Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority. More than 1,130 people have been killed since June’s monsoon season began.

“There was a super flood in 2010, but this is the worst ever in the history of Pakistan,” said Shabnam Baloch, the country director for Pakistan at the International Rescue Committee.

This calamity alone would have been disastrous. But Pakistan this year has also endured economic difficulties and a lethal heat wave that, as Vox’s Umair Irfan reported, strained public infrastructure and social services.

“Pakistan contributes less than 1 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions,” Farah Naureen, Mercy Corps’ country director for Pakistan, said in a statement. “This humanitarian catastrophe is yet another example of how countries that contribute the least to global warming are the ones that suffer the most.”

It’s likely that climate change contributed to the scale of the catastrophe in Pakistan.

Fuck Pakistan. Sounds like they're just jumping on the free handout train.

Call up the Clintons and let them promise Pakistan some money that they'll never receive just like the Haitians never got. 'Cause we aren't paying for that bullshit.
