The Left really, truly believe human beings can control the weather if people eat bugs and live in 15-minute cities and stop using oil. It borders on a religious fervor.
But there's nothing more absurd that this notion that Ron DeSantis signing legislation to remove the phrase 'climate change' from state documents somehow caused Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. This isn't the first time this argument has popped up on X, and it probably won't be the last, but it remains idiotic.
Here's political 'strategist' Rachel Bitecofer -- we've written about her before -- trying to blame the Florida GOP for the storm:
Removing the words โclimate changeโ from Florida textbooks doesnโt seem to be working @FloridaGOP

Yeah, that's not it.
You must be new here. WEATHER has been happening since the day Mother Earth was created. It's been changing ever since that very day.

It sure has, and will continue long after we're all gone.

And that's quite an achievement.
This is clearly the product of racism maโam.

EL. OH. EL.
There has been no detected increase in hurricane frequency or speed of intensification over decades of record.

So what?
You want to tell me what freaking stove Iโm allowed to use?
You want to force us to go blind looking at these insufferable florescent lights so we can pander to your belief in junk science?
Piss off.
Oh, gas stoves and lightbulbs are just the beginning. They want a lot more control over everything.
In the name of 'saving the planet', naturally.
Democrats not celebrating major hurricane challenge: Impossible

All they have to do is not be insane and they're incapable of it.
Worst hurricane was 1924.. second worst 1959.. climate change paranoia is a mental illness

And the world was much, much hotter long before SUVs and fossil fuels were a thing.
Her implication is Florida's school curriculum doesn't sufficiently worship the sky god and now they're being punished for it.

So. Much. Science.

Bingo. It's not science, it's a religion. And a cult at that.

At least we can be certain @FlaDems are in no danger of winning any elections in Florida anytime soon. https://t.co/OdhCMVOvP4
Nope. And we're okay with that.
