This meme is poorly worded. It says that it’s grandma’s fault that October used to be cold. It should say that it’s Grandma’s fault that October is no longer cold.
No war but the class war.
You’re just working for the billionaires when you post divisive nonsense like this.
Well idk, most of the billionares are rich and white and old also. Meme still kinda fits.
It’s scary and yet many people refuse to believe in climate change. I’ve had argument with a denier on social media. I can tell that the person is not being deliberately malicious, because he did let up on some points, but he’s the type to kick the can down the road and hopelessly hoping to deal with the problem later on. I think a lot of people who handwaves the seriousness of climate change prefer to look the other way. I know far too many people who are like this even if it’s not about climate change.
Here they claim it as a “natural process”. Good ol denial
It is a natural process as humans are natural.
And we are releasing natural stuff that is accelerating the change of the climate.
It’s much easier to pretend humans aren’t impacting it if people are allowed paint humans actions as outside nature. We are a huge part of nature, there’s 6 billion of us.
You mean 8 billion?
My dad believes in this
I know scientifically minded people who view it both as ‘hysteria,’ and for what remains, something that geoengineering can solve in the future.
In other words, look up the WSJ article advocating for fossil fuel production maximization as a net economic optimization in the long term, basically ‘better to maximize efficiency and minimize suffering now, to better geoengineer solutions in the future.’
…I read geoengineering papers. They are horrific. As in “our state-of-the-art-solution would… pour acid rain over the ice caps. And it’s still economically unfeasible, but less unfeasible. And maybe it will blunt things some?”
I’m offended such arguments are being presented.
But I can see right where those opinions come from, as with every twist of climate change denialism.
The environmental conspiracists are right. It really is Big Oil and such groups, from what I can see.
Holy fuck. So this is the start of Super El Nino. I’m gonna call it, “winter that wasn’t”.
Yes, grandma started the industrial revolution 200 years ago. Thanks Na Na…
“Honey, but all I did was work for Denny’s”
“Time for your MAID appointment grandma”
you guys are seriously gonna throw g-maw under the bus before you adopt systemic criticisms
Class warfare? Naaah
Generational warfare!!! WOOOH!!!
Don’t panic yet. Give corporations and their store-bought politicians time to convince us it’s normal.
So are boomers responsible for everything that’s wrong in the world now or just climate change?
Yes they embraced the revolutionary technology of cars, which enabled post-WW2 suburbia to boom, which established the economic base for the rest of industry to progress to what we have now.
…so do we blame them? Because if you blame them, then expect Gen Alpha to blame you for letting AI take hold.
yes, blame us for ai
This mentality makes sense in 1952, but with benefit of hindsight and all the consequences, is pretty obtuse to say today.
they embraced the revolutionary technology of cars
Well… they had it foisted on them.
Your kids are Monday morning quarterbacking. And your grandkids will be tearing you a new butthole for all the stuff you’re not fixing right now.

It easy always blaming the baby boomers and Gen X. But the millenials and Gen Z are nearly just as cupable of global warming.
The amount of time we spend on the internet and the wastefull use of products contribute a lot to global warming.
Stupid blaming the individual instead of holding the corporations accountable.
and politicians
and voters
and people who don’t vote
Thats worse than voting for the wrong party
cycle. public transport. stop eating meat. fly less.
you are somewhat responsible if you don’t boycott that which you can.
Basically my point, we are also to blame. Most of us could so a whole lot more for the environment. The acceleration of global warming (digital made a terrible situation exponationaly bad) started in the digital era and millenials/gen z are by far the biggest consumers of digital products.
We are also the biggest consumers of fast fashion although a certain subset of gen z started thrifting which is a really good development.
Buddy, global warming was locked in before gen Z could vote. This is a bonkers take
Sure but that does not stop them from consuming fast fashion, digital products, eating a lot of meat, etc…
My point was that all I ever see about global warming is blaming the older generation while we are also to blame as generations we all had the chance to make different choices and we didn’t.
That does not mean that the largest producers of greenhouse gazes are large industries, heating and farms. And certain individuals have an extreme impact compared to the average (think private jet, yacht, spaceflight).
