I know it is called "weather". But some areas are seeing change and some are not. All of our heat records date back to the 1950s and the 1930s before that. Our cold records date back to the same time periods.
I have never worried about what other people thought about me or said about me. I have been called racist, a bigot all the liberal tags out there and I just laugh in their face. Because ultimately they cannot do anything to me. Some of those jackasses out there get all outraged when I shrug my shoulders and state I don’t care about what ever pet project they espouse.
Sometimes I do go out of my way. There was a protest by some people by the railroad right of way, which is illegal as being on the right of way constitutes trespassing. I received a radio call about this group of fifty people and I slowed down. When I rounded the bend, there they were, a guy yelling in a bullhorn and others beating drums. So, per regulations, I laid on the air horns neutering mr. Bullhorn. Since I was on a 1% grade, I selected notch eight on the throttle causing all five engines to start bellowing and the smoke pouring out of the stacks. The smoke laid all over the protesters causing them to scatter like quail. It was a good day.
Did I care what they thought of me? Nope.
I get a little concerned about people who don't care what other people think about them, especially when they go on and describe the sort of behavior you describe, that you go "out of your way" to enjoy.
And why? "Because ultimately they cannot do anything to me."
Now there's some thinking that deserves a choice label or two, but of course with some people, all that really matters to them is them! You must love this forum that provides a similar "safe place" where no one can do anything to anyone about what they think or do...
Your example of gassing everyone is much like someone who fahts in a room without thinking twice. Right! What can anyone do about such a person (other than avoid them whenever possible)?
I've NEVER been called a racist or a bigot. Just saying, but I have been accused of a thing or two without justification. I always care enough what others think to address false accusations. Easy enough for me in any case. If not, maybe the label fits better than we think it does...

Y’all make it seem scientists have never got anything wrong, Lol.
This is typical of the type of post we see from people that deny climate science...No scientist has ever said the the world would end. ...This is what science actually said.... The world's leading climate scientists have warned there is only a dozen years for global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5C, beyond which even half a degree will significantly worsen the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people.
The celebrities, politicians and rich people (elites) aren't selling their beach front properties, are they? Are they giving up their private jets, huge, multiple mansions, SUV's and large carbon footprints? No? Why not?

Is this really some sort of argument for why we should dismiss what scientists are concerned about?
First answer that comes to my mind is that PEOPLE ARE THE PROBLEM! Much as you well describe!

And the notion that we can actually alter the climate with mass amounts of tax dollars, Lol.
Sorry, I’m not buying it.
I love having my smart devices, home, meat, appliances, cars, planes, reliable electricity, plastics, etc everything you guys want to take away.
