Protests a ‘bit inconvenient’ claim people who’ll love climate change
Climate change. That’s a thing. They used to call it ‘global warming’, but it didn’t convey the cataclysmic fuckery we’re unleashing. They’ve actually stopped saying ‘climate change’ now, and instead, use ‘extinction event’.

“AND IF THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING THINK THEY’RE INCONVENIENCED NOW, JUST WAIT UNTIL THEIR HOUSES ARE SUBMERGED IN FUCKING SEA WATER!”
It appears that waiting ‘UNTIL THEIR HOUSES ARE SUBMERGED IN FUCKING SEA WATER’ is a least worse outcome as it will take many years until sufficient ice melts?
“‘Direct existential threat’ of climate change nears point of no return, warns UN chief
If we do not change course by 2020, we risk missing the point where we can avoid runaway climate change, with disastrous consequences for people and all the natural systems that sustain us.”
