You can ignore climate change. But it doesn't ignore you. These insurance spikes were not only foreseeable, but foreseen. States didn't act, and now the cost is being borne by the most vulnerable. It will get much worse. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi ...

Why do you think your leader went from denying climate change to wanting to take over canada and greenland?

If liberals believed climate change was real, they would not be vandalizing Tesla. Shove your fake religion up your ass.

Perhaps you should explain how vandalizing Teslas indicates you don't believe in climate change.

No need - it is self explanatory. If you don't get it already, you are not capable of getting it ever.

When FEMA doesn't help, it's gonna cost more for the homeowners to fix.

I agree. It is self-explanatory.

It has a lot to do with, all to do with?, Mr Musk wreaking havoc with his chainsaw upon the Federal government, and little to do with Tesla as an EV car company.

So, yes, self-explanatory.

Thanks for bringing up this side-topic in #17.

By vandalizing vehicles already sold by Telsa - many 5+ years ago, they are hurting Musk how exactly? Sounds like a toddler throwing a tantrum and destroying his own toys or BLM burning down their own neighborhoods.

I dunno.

Your current trolling alias was the one who said it was self-explanatory, not me.

It does not matter whether YOU believe in climate change.

It's whether climate change believes in YOU!
