Interesting you left the part out about how people are migrating to Arizona (with no water). Isn't it in the south?

One would think folks would be moving to a cooler climate if global warming was a concern.

I know I either won't get an answer to this or a completely ridiculous one, but I want to narrow it down.

What's your criteria for something to happen? Could you give an example?

Example of a nothingburger:

Hurricanes developing in “hurricane alley” during hurricane season.

Global famine, collapse of the AMOC, polar bear extinction, death of the Great Barrier Reef, Maldives inundated, ice free Arctic…all of it was predicted to happen by now…none of it did. Global warming catastrophe is always right around the corner yet it never quite seems to get here.

You'd think they'd eat less crap and get more exercise if obesity were a concern, too. Plenty of people plan using the "it's not raining now so why should I fix the roof" process.

Reading comprehension fail.

I asked for an example of what would count as something. As well as your criteria.

 

But, I did predict your non-response correctly after all.

One would think folks would not vote for a rapist and a felon if they cared about law and order.  But here we are.  People can be stupid and act against their own interest if the brainwashing is strong enough.

Example of a nothingburger:

So:

Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Ian

All "nothingburgers."  I'll remember your definition for future use, thanks.

Sorry I will take you through it slowly.

Not a nothingburger:

Global famine, extinction of the polar bears, collapse of the AMOC, the Maldives wiped off the map, death of the Great Barrier Reef and an ice free Arctic.

Nothingburger:

Floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and other meteorological phenomena occurring within historical ranges.

One would think that if you have a wife, you wouldn't support a rapist.

Turns out people aren't very smart.

You would think the ardent follower of the law and order and justice party would understand the difference but then again:

Thank you for once again proving my point.

Sorry, you were ranting so much that I didn't realise that was your answer to my question. Which still sits within my predictions anyway (of being utterly ridiculous).

 

Still, you've failed to explain what your criteria was, what is the reasoning behind those "not a nothingburger" examples? And no, "because some lib said it" is not really a valid answer.

Well, moral people don't support rapists.  But if there are people out there who either like the idea of rape, or are OK with the excuses for it (i.e. "those women are just making those accusations for attention!  It's not really happening!") then it might well be smart for them to support rapists.

Well, axccctually, only those whose morals are against rape.
