Will Climate Change Deniers Ever Believe a Fact?

By

It seems like every day there's a new article talking about how climate change is altering our planet and every day there is an idiot from #TrumpNation telling us it's okay because their [company of choice] is making a lot of money and creating the occasional job.

About 2.5 times as big as Texas, Greenland is home to the second largest ice sheet on the planet after Antarctica. “Altogether, it has enough ice to raise global sea level by 23 feet if it were to fully melt,” says Luke Trusel, a glaciologist at Rowan University and the lead author of the new study. “While we don’t think this will happen any time soon, understanding how it is changing is critical for assessing risk to our coastal communities and livelihoods. Roughly 40 to 50 percent of the U.S. population lives near a coast, so while we might not think about Greenland very much, what happens there matters greatly.” All of that water can also disrupt global ocean circulation that stabilizes continental climates and delivers freshwater and nutrients to marine ecosystems.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
