If you’re going to try to come after me on Twitter ... get your fucking facts straight
Absolutely NOTHING that you accuse me of is even remotely close to accurate

How much of a pompous ass do you have to be to think that 45-50% of the country (conservatives) are just flat wrong and there are some decent ones that can admit that they are ...
Let me give you a life lesson here ... we’re all wrong ... and we’re all wrong OFTEN in life on a day by day basis. If you think you have all the answers and that you’re right on everything ... let’s just say life has a funny way of humbling those that get too far ahead of their skis.
So, yes, there is 'climate' change.
But somehow that's being a denier. And the statistical sampling window is one week now.
That’s you ^^^^
How did I misrepresent what you said?
When heat related events take place (notably hurricanes) ... everybody is really quick to point out the link between the event and temperature
Yet when really abnormal events swing the other way there’s never a recognition that things swing the other way as well
My point is that what bothers me most about climate change advocates is that they cherry pick events to their narrative ... it’s off putting
You want to show evidence that the effects of climate change results in greater volatility in weather ... I’m listening
You want to talk about observable data that we need to address ... I’m open to talking about how that is done
But I will always be critical of those that selectively use data to advance a pre-determined conclusion
You think cold weather disproves climate change.
You don’t understand the difference between weather and climate.
And the cold weather events to get addressed. Constantly.

You need to see @IrishDawg22 again
And try to catch up.
Everything about more volatile extremes in climate makes complete sense to me. I have never been one to not only embrace the direction of clean/green energy but recognize that there are elements of climate change that is definitely more controllable than what we’ve historically done.
Where I pause with caution is making sure that as we transition we make sure we don’t let things slip through the cracks and go “oops” after the fact ... which is what is happening in Texas
And let’s be clear, what’s happening in Texas looks and feels like gross negligence in terms of protecting infrastructure in case of these types of events.
The reason I say I’m being sarcastic is because I’m not seeing the same level of vigilance about claiming this vortex is indicative proof of global warming as when warm weather events happen. I suspect that that’s because it’s easier to draw connections to warning to warming events. The reality is people need to understand it goes both ways ... which was really my point (likely poorly made)
I think this is a good example of how if you want to actually have a conversation ... have one and engage. But if your path is to take something out of context and put someone out on blast, that’s just the wrong way to go about doing things.
