My dad is a longtime conventional Republican climate change denier and we've had a lot of discussions about it which usually boils down to him reiterating a theory that his scientist buddy (a biologist btw) told him in 2005. One day it was blazing hot and he said "I think that Frownland might be right about the whole global warming thing". I looked at him and told him that referencing temporary local weather patterns is an unscientific way to confirm or disprove a theory like climate change. He's still a climate change denier. Oh well.

There is nothing I thank god more for than that I don't talk to my family when drunk. That would be the worst.

I think the majority of climate change deniers ive dealt with dont understand he difference between the earths natural warming and cooling cycles and global warming.

It's appropriate that these two posts are adjacent.

Yeah, you have to look at the development over a long period of years to confirm a real trend in weather changes. I just think that some of these odd irregularities we've had in Danish weather (every season, basically) over the last two years make even a lot of the doubters pay attention, since it's obvious that something isn't going quite the way it usually does.

Flowers blossoming and birds chirping in late winter, sustained warm and dry weather for over a month during the usually very unimpressive Danish summer, a mild fall season where we usually have storm warnings, etc. Plus news of the unusual weather in Sweden, Norway, at Svalbard island, etc.

Something is up for sure, unless it's a bunch of crazy coincidences. Even people who usually deny that anything is going on seem worried now. My dad also used to shake his head at all those predictions about climate change in the news. Not anymore.

It's the absolute worst. They all call me and text me the next day like, "Are you ok?"

I'm fine, I just drank to cope with the biding depression. Nothing's changed.

I like my room to be an icebox

Can't sleep when it's at all hot

You can move into the garage I have a box fan u can use

TFW you think that your jokes are absolutely killing then they tell you that they were just laughing at how trashed you were the next day.

It's happened more with friends than family come to think of it.

I've been p trashed around my family. We like to party.

When I've gotten into my grandfather's Milwaukee's beast has been by far the best family gatherings have ever been. Sometimes family tell me I've gone a bit far but **** you, people you suck. This works for me partly because my family are reactionary ****s who need something to take the edge off but largely because my family seem to be against being publicly drunk while clearly being the kind of people who should absolutely drink and would love it and I'm just doing what we should be doing in the first place. We work better as a unit when drunk and two of my aunts seem to realize this. We're ****ing Irish Catholic for god's sake, you Protestant worshiping retards.
