If they admit that "climate change (global warming) is real, they might have to do something about it, and that would cut into profits. As long as most damage will occur after they are dead, they’re satisfied.
If you try to point this one storm out to a climate change denier, they’ll simply point out that weather isn’t climate. And they’d be correct. Climate is the conflation of a lot of weather. More or less. And we have a lot of weather to look at… and climate is changing.
There are some previous deniers that grudgingly admit human-caused climate change is real. But they say it is too late to do anything or they claim it will cost jobs. Renewable energy development, designing installing and maintaining equipment that reduces or even eliminates emissions will CREATE jobs.
It’s past time to argue with deniers. There’s no point, anyway. We are headed for big trouble. We have to find solutions now. We need to find the political will to put these measures into effect.
One of the problems with Climate Change is the use of the two word phrase Global Warming. While it is true that, worldwide, the globe is getting warmer, it’s hard to convince people in freezing weather that there’s anything to climate change when they’re shivering. But, our climates are changing with the death of species, the almost total elimination of the Arctic Circle year round, roads that are sinking and breaking up in northern areas that relied on permafrost as their foundations, island nations that are ceasing to exist, and so forth. Even my garden is not producing as much as it did a half decade ago. And I see and hear fewer birds and bees anymore. Climate change is real.

It rained in parts of Greenland for the first time in recorded history. Sounds like something is changing.

The hoax is the cause.. the climate is changing, as it has.. forever. A very long term cycle that neither man or beast can alter.

The earth is too big and too old to change. Just ask the trolls.

They’d likely still say that it is usual weather patterns.

Blah blah blah! Until the population of the world is under control the climate will continue to reflect the overuse of limited resources.

Another chart that helps highlight the impact by man and the industrial revolution on the rate of change:

And while it’s a comic, the data points are based on actual facts (as opposed to what “facts” the usual trolls pull out of their collective asses).
