Bill Nye links Texas floods to climate change - Conservatives go crazy
May 28, 2015 at 5:53 am
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/fcking-ahole-conservatives-go-berserk-after-bill-nye-links-texas-floods-to-climate-change/
Quote:According to Scientific American, Houston saw 10 inches of rain within 24 hours on Monday, causing what Republican Gov. Greg Abbott called the “the biggest flood this area of Texas has ever seen.”
[...]
“When you have a warmer atmosphere, then you have the capability to hold more water vapor,” Ekwurzel explained. “When storms organize, there’s much more water you can wring out of the atmosphere compared to the past.”
So, Nye’s tweet urging meteorologists to explain the link to their audiences did not come as a shock for most of his followers.
“Billion$$ in damage in Texas & Oklahoma. Still no weather-caster may utter the phrase Climate Change,” Nye wrote.
However, many conservatives on Twitter lashed out at the famous scientist.
“Hey, dipshit non-science guy, give your climate scam a rest while they’re still searching for bodies,” Twitter user JammieWF demanded, adding, “F*cking asshole.”
“Although just last year it was drought in Texas that was caused by global warming,” Twitchy remarked. “What’s even funnier is that Nye thinks his alarmism that blames every, single weather event on manmade global warming is just what’s needed to convince more people that the alarmist camp knows what it is talking about.”
Ah, 'muricans, why U no think before U speak?

Meanwhile, "The Gays" is a perfectly acceptable explanation. I think Bill should just start blaming climate change on homosexuals and sinnin', just to get the ball rolling.
ETA: Not sure if that was a pun or not, but I'm sure Vorlon could do something with "ball rolling".
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Tide comes in, Tide doesn't go out. You can't explain that.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

This is the history of religion, our species does not like having it's social norms upset, so when science debunks their delusions they throw a fucking fit like a kid when an adult tells them Santa isn't real.

Texas is not America. It can boil in oil, eaten by worms, dissolve in acid, and be covered by lava for all I care.

Of course the flood is a government conspiracy fuelled by illuminati agenda!!!
