Easy. My in-laws are republicans. They just think it’s not man-made and god will take care of everything because “he always does.” How do you argue with that level of stupidity and ignorance?
The shouldn’t vote and let God take care of the election.
All we can do with useless dead weight like this is wait for them to die off. Thankfully, religion is in steep decline.
That is “Kill them all and let God sort them out.”-level of stupid.
Yes but how will they recover socially from peeling the 'I heart Oil & Gas" stickers off their bumpers?

Well, one way they ignore it is by listening to everyone saying that it will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable in the world. In their minds this translates to “oh whew at least I’m safe from the worst.”
As true as this inequity is, I wonder if maybe we should stop talking about it, or at least acknowledge that it isn’t a motivating point for westerners with wasteful lifestyles. In fact the opposite.
“Something something solar cycle something co2 is good for plants something more people die from cold than heat something something I like it warm anyway something”.
Easy, they can’t read graphs.
At this point, all I got is gallows humor. It is honestly kinda darkly funny that the catastrophic temperature benchmark climatologists have been warning about for years will be blitzed past fairly unceremoniously in 2023z

Being politically active is one of the best things you as an individual could do.
That lady in the picture looks like she’s gonna murder you.
The " Why is that creep talking a picture of me?" look.
I wouldn’t be that surprised if that look became a meme face
Guess we better act now.
