    Scientists have been predicting the end of the world coming very soon for many decades now, they’re no better. At least the Bible thumpers are consistent. The scientists move the goalposts everytime it doesn’t happen. Once one thing is done that they say we need to do to avoid it then it’s something else, and something else, and something else.

    The “scientists” version is just as much fiction as the Bible thumpers. There’s also no shortage of scientists that disagree with them the whole time.

      Scientists have been predicting the end of the world coming very soon for many decades now, t

      You seem like you’re out of the loop, because that is an incredibly simplified and incorrect statement.

      Scientists have been predicting that global temperatures would sharply rise due to fossil fuel use, and they have. We are currently passing the 1.5°c threshold.

      They’ve been predicting that forest fires, hurricanes, storms, flooding, etc would get significantly worse, and they have.

      They’re clearly not making shit up:

      And you seem to be missing the fact that all of this is dependent on fossil fuel use and policy, neither of which are easy to predict. So the best that can be offered in terms of predictions is explaining what will happen with the current status quo. And the current status quo will lead to billions dead, with billions of migrants.

      Do you know where those migrants will try to come? They’re gonna try and come here. You conservatives are always complaining about people showing up on the border. And it’s only going to get worse the longer conservatives ignore the science. Over the next few decades, don’t go complaining it’s the fault of progressives that they’re millions of people try to cross the border because their homes were made uninhabitable.

      At least the Bible thumpers are consistent.

      Is that a joke?

      The scientists move the goalposts everytime it doesn’t happen.

      Name one time this has happened.

      There’s also no shortage of scientists that disagree with them the whole time.

      Lmao
