Apocalyptic Instagram Filter: Wildfires Show Irreversible Damage Of Climate Crisis | All In | MSNBC

“It doesn’t just hit. It doesn’t just approach and then go away, leaving disaster. It is a rolling disaster that sits there and hovers. And it’s sort of an Instagram filter for your life that is apocalyptic,” says NYT’s Charlie Warzel on the West Coast wildfires. Aired on 09/10/2020.

Apocalyptic Instagram Filter: Wildfires Show Irreversible Damage Of Climate Crisis | All In | MSNBC

    1. I do understand where you’re coming from but if the sun explode it would be much worse, being that we would most likely be instantly annihilated (once the explosion had time to reach us) as the Earth’s surface was turned into an ocean of lava.

  1. And Trump has deregulated our national forests and is allowing oil industry to drill in the Atlantic ocean. We are screwed if we don’t change it.

    1. – During Ivanka Trump’s RNC Speech she says her dad is a ‘defender of common sense’ yea, Donald Trump’s type of common sense – Here is Mr.Trump’s stupid way of thinking:
      – “Mr.Trump, sir I’m sorry to say but it seems that your casino is running in the red.” – “What I don’t understand, are you talking about the Red Queen’s race?” – “Sir, the casino is running in the red, you know negative not in the black, positive.” – “What, just because I’ve got red carpets in the casino I’m getting negative comments & not positive ones because they’re not black carpets, so what, who cares, I don’t!”
      – “Mr.Trump, sir it seems that there are a few hurricanes heading our way!”- “What I don’t understand & just which way it that?” – “Sir. one is heading towards Puerto Rico the other the Florida coastline!” – “Oh, did you know Puerto Rico is an island that’s surrounded by water a lot of water, anyway why can’t we just nuke the hurricane before it gets here!” – “But sir, there would be all kinds of fallout from it!” – “Yea so what the storm falls out into smaller storms that wouldn’t be so destructive as a hurricane!”
      – “Mr.Trump, sir it seems that a bad virus called coronavirus has just broken out in the USA, 15 show they have it!” – “What I don’t understand why are you so worried about a little flu bug, don’t bother me it will be down to zero in no time!” – “Mr.Trump, sir it seems that the flu bug that you said would be gone like a miracle is now spreading throughout the USA like wildfire!” – ‘What if we just use nukes on the cities where the coronavirus is spreading the quickness that way we can open up all the other cities in May where it isn’t spreading!” – “But sir what about all those that would die?” – “They would most likely die from the virus in cities where it is spreading & those people most likely wouldn’t have voted for me anyway, plus think of all the medical supplies that it would have saved us having to get!”
      – “Mr.Trump, sir it seems your valet has tested positive.” – “What I don’t understand, what valley?” – “Sir, they have got Covid-19.” – “What, I don’t think any of my golf clubs have a valley so a convict could hide in & there are only 18 holes to play not 19?”
      – “Mr.Trump, sir it seems that the whole west coast has broken out with more wildfires once again & California has gotten the worst along with Oregon & Washington also! – What I don’t understand why is that happening again? – Sir, I think it has to do with Extreme Weather you know climate change events! – Bull, that’s what they get for not raking the forest floors, so I’ll cut the state’s federal funding to Californians because they didn’t take my advice to help prevent fires, Oregon & Washington will be next! Plus did you see all those Finland residents out raking their forest after I made my comment so we could see how it’s done & with many hashtags like #RakingtheForestOnceAgain #MakingAmericaRakeAgain #RakingAmericaGreatAgain so you see these are the kind of people we need to get to immigrate into the USA so we can send them to California!
      – “Mr.Trump, sir it seems that the news media found out that you lied about what you knew about the coronavirus & want an answer as to why you kept it back from the public! – Well tell them I played it down Because I didn’t want to scare & send US citizens into panic mode, now where is my fearmongering speechwriter to tell US citizens that Joe Biden & Kamala Harris along with those Mexican immigrant rapists; terrorists; criminal gangs; Muslims & of course, all Democrats who don’t believe in law & order & would result in more city violence so America’s Suburbs will be overrun with low-Income immigrant projects; raising up anarchists; agitators; looters; protesters & will destroy the USA if I’m not voted in again!” – “But sir, that is all happening while your President, plus wouldn’t that cause US citizens to panic & be scared?” – “No, it would just give them Donald Trump’s type of common sense!”

  2. All the conspiracy theorists blaming scapegoats… that won’t solve anything. I stand with Science, Mathematics, and Ethics.

    1. ​@Corn Pop oh sorry, heaven forbid you learn anything new…..i guess continue on spewing your bs without knowing what your talking about. is the earth flat too? lmao

  3. Yesterday in San Francisco, we woke up to red-orange skies and even at noon, people were inside with all their lights on, it was that dark. Never seen anything like this. Literally like an Insta filter set to “post-nuclear apocalypse.”
    But yeah, keep on denying climate change. Wear your stupidity like a badge of honor. 😅😂

    1. @K. Christensen So, absent a fire that destroys the entire city (or maybe a Godzilla attack), what is your solution to the homeless problem?

    2. this is what happens when liberals refuse to cut dead trees down and clear brush away from fire prone areas. they are to blame for all this destruction !!

  4. The Amazon rainforest fires have begun again. Australia’s bushfires were nearly the worst on record even with there being less actual forest to burn. If only scientists had warned this would happen twenty years ago. Oh wait.

    1. @John Plum I can’t believe I just sat and read through all of that – Better nuke my brain before the QAnon inception doesn’t get me and turn me into a Zombie.

    2. @Matt F. Just want to add here the reason they changed global warming into climate change is to remove blame because climate change is a natural phenomenon long before cars where invented. If you look at Africa for example they’ve found remnants of plant live where it is now arid and sand dunes. Albeit our carbon footprint is definitely increasing the speed of such change. We have to be more conscious of facts and motives.

      What we really need to ask is why all the states that Trump was surely losing are now on fire and AnTiF@ are being blamed for it. Sounds like the opposite of what they’ve been asking for. Let that sink in

    1. @MAGA Man except their burning in a pandemic bc you and russia elected the anti Christ. makes sense, since yall do the opposite of what jesus taught

    2. @MAGA Man…..ANTIFA or BLM starting the west coast wildfires is a total BS conspiracy theory started by some fukwit Trump supporters trying to cause even more animosity and division. There have been NO ANTIFA/BLM members linked to any cases of arson…PERIOD.

      (Ashland, Ore.)
      “Authorities are investigating the Almeda fire as an arson after discovering human remains in Ashland, the city police chief said.
      The Jackson County’s Major Assault/Death Investigation Unit is investigating the nature of the death of the person found, according to Ashland Police Chief Tighe O’Meara.
      The unit draws detectives from Ashland Police, Medford, Central Point, Oregon State Police, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office.
      “One thing I can say is that the rumors it was set by Antifa is 100% false information,” the police chief said by email. “We have some leads, and none of it points in that direction.””

      The man arrested in Phoenix OR. was some crazed crackhead pyromaniac., NOT ANTIFA.

      The smoke bomb in So-Cal that started one fire was extremely stupid, but it was not intentional arson. They still should be held to account, prosecuted, etc….but it WASN’T ARSON. Whoever is perpetrating that false story about ANTIFA should also be prosecuted.

      Google it….there are no stories about ANTIFA starting ANY fires….it’s the exact opposite: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2020/09/11/police-debunk-false-social-media-rumours-antifa-starting-west/
      https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/sep/10/facebook-posts/antifa-activists-did-not-start-west-coast-wildfire/

    3. blame attorneys… CA, OR, WA, NV adopted Low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) under the false pretext of doing something about the future climate. It is over 300 pages of spending mandates and a bogus carbon inventory system that our trusting, faithful legislators approved. Pull the .pdf, there is nothing tangible that has anything to do with the future climate. Search OR HB-2186 . Billions of dollars stolen from the People via higher than national average gas prices to pay all the attorneys, etc.
      Ask Oregon’s leaders why at least some of the money could not have been spent on forest fire prevention work such as clearing of dead trees and brush that fuels the fires, including on private land. How many people remember that we had a bad storm two years ago that knocked down vast numbers of trees? There was a similar storm a few years before that one. It left immense amounts of dry fuel.

    4. @Hiden Biden Joe they just don’t understand how low under our boot we had these liberal fools. They voted for me twice and think you are the 2nd coming! But Orange man bad right?

  5. And on Sept 8, Colorado residents woke up to something they had never seen before, snow in September.

    In Fort Collins, the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University said it was the earliest accumulating of snow ever observed in over 130 years. The day before it was 99 degrees, the highest temperature ever observed so late in September. Wyoming also got hit with 17 inches of snow the next day. It was the earliest snowfall on record for Wyoming.

    In the not too distant future, global warming will become the biggest threat to peace and global stability. The signs are all around us. Denying or ignoring the realities of climate change will only lead to cataclysmic consequences. Wars, mass exodus, and famines, won’t even be the worst of it. Sort of like what happens when you ignore the seriousness of a viral pandemic.

    1. Tom Swain oh stfu. Your stupid conspiracy theories have been disproven many times. Grow up and use that brain of yours

    2. BS ALERT 300+ ARRESTED FOR ARSON?!!! #1 FOXNEWS BEATS COMBINED! VS 0 CRED CONSPIRACY ROSWELL MSN DNC HA MSNDICKC & 0 CRED CNN CRIMINAL NOT NEWS

  6. Reminder: the orange skies and apocalyptic fire is the price we are paying to preserve the profits of fossil-fuel industry and its lobbyists.

    1. Tom Swain like you said you hate weakness and stupid feelings. You like toughness. I’m being honest with ya when I’m saying you’re a delusional vile headcase. And you know it’s true. Accept it like a real man. You’re not a liberal are you? I’m talking to you man. C’mon I’ll be praying with you to get rid of this demon that’s on to you.

    2. Loved the comment made on David Attenborough’s documentary ‘extinction’, where someone said humanity was like an asteroid.

  7. The scientists have been telling everyone for 50 years that this was going to happen.
    Now, it’s too late.
    Have a nice day.

    1. @ChurchofSillyBeggars. Actually, what you’re not being told is that scientists estimated in 2010 that the planet would be uninhabitable for humans by 2060, and since then the projections are worse, not better. Do enjoy the rest of your life.

    2. Average Josephine record breaking fires for 4 more years and carbon emissions for 4 more years at the rate we are at. Definitely.

  8. Good thing drump said global warming is a hoax and withdrew from the paris accords..lol..his trumpanzees will blame President Obama.

    1. CA, OR, WA, NV adopted Low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) under the false pretext of doing something about the future climate. It is over 300 pages of spending mandates and a bogus carbon inventory system that our trusting, faithful legislators approved.

How many people remember that we had a bad storm two years ago that knocked down vast numbers of trees? There was a similar storm a few years before that one. It left immense amounts of dry fuel.

    2. Climate change caused people to set fires? Cause me to make all my bad decisions too! Can I get reparations for that? Good thing California doesn’t have plastic straws to catch on fire. Well, guess it doesn’t matter cause they have more than enough heroin needles to make up for it.

    3. @Fred Neck My question is, if Climate Change was as bad as these herpe hollers cry about, why hasn’t every continent combusted the same way our west coast has? Does nature just pick and choose what catches on fire or not? Seeing how these fires started along I5 it seemed like they were started by people.

    1. Climate CHANGE? Nah…. Nothin’ to worry about …. tRump signs more EPA dismantling paperwork and throws the old law-books into the blaze!

    2. In a few years the whole world will suffer because of climate change. Millions of ppl will be homeless and Starving. We are destroying our own home

    1. @Alistair Freedom o yeah. We’re just going to go burn up our Country because you dummies helped elect a grifter to the highest office in the free world. — A guy who can barely read a teleprompter, or read anything really, a vapid person without character or any moral platitude who purchased a gold toilet is in the Whitehouse.

    2. @Kitt Songstad first of all, peace to you. The truth is the world is heading for some really bad times. We are all going to need to be kind to each other. And share where we can.

      Im actually worried for the world

    3. @Alistair Freedom kind huh? The world is moving toward a nationalist agenda. The same conditions that created WW2. The US was already one of the most conservative nations in the world. If the axis of power changes, if Trump stays in office until he dies you might find some bedfellows that you wish he hadn’t cozied up to. I don’t think anyone hates Trump anymore than he hated Obama and Obama was a Centrist, which is more or less Republican Lite. Except there aren’t any moderate Republicans left really.

    4. @Kitt Songstad maybe your right… but Biden seems like an even worse choice.. i think the media does twist the truth when it comes to trump..

      Dont most of us just want a little house and and a simple life. Food in the fridge just the basic things.. these days its become so difficult to even get that.. life has become very expensive.

    5. @Alistair Freedom well yeah, people all over the world want simple things. This isn’t about Trump’s personality. This is about the Country as you envision the Constitution realized. This is about your vision of democracy.

  9. America is burning politically, economically, socially, culturally, racially, health wise, and environmentally. We live for today and ignore the future.

    1. – Listen here is a post & prophecy that God put on my heart well over a few years ago which I posted at other sites & feel I need to post it once again, at which deep down I wish I was wrong & I’m sorry because it was only a few days after I posted it the very 1stime that the Kīlauea volcano caused an eruption that changed the island’s shape of Hawai‘i forever. – Like Pharaoh in the Bible – Mr.Trump has hardened his heart to his sins so don’t pray for him also like other Christians who follow his way of thinking but you should be praying that the judgment coming on the USA for electing him will not be as bad as it could be! – God has told me Hail wind & rainstorms along with tornadoes as well as earthquakes & volcanic eruptions – firestorms like – BC forest fires – the Fort McMurray fire Alberta – the Great Chicago Fire which burned from Sunday the 8th to Tuesday October 10th 1871 – the Centralia Pennsylvania coal mine fire which has been burning since 1962 & now the California wildfires are going to increase & get worse as we get closer to the end times – All because of the things men are doing to the world giving power to the devil to bring these things onto them & because Mr.Trump thinks this is all a hoax invented by China – the USA will get the worse of it! – the anointing that is on Trump comes from Satan, not God!
      – So Christians who are not walking in love need to repent & take up their cross – as we get closer to the coming of Christ Who will show up in his followers 1st to save those who are perishing & crying out for God to save them! – For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing – but to us who are being saved it is the power of God! – The Cross is not something you wear around your neck or any other part of your body nor a nice poem with a picture of one you carry in your wallet nor is it the cross that Jesus died on as many Christians want you to believe! – Jesus took up his cross & the nails that our sins are – nailed Jesus to the cross & caused His death – dying for us – but now Jesus wants us to take up the cross He gives us & die for Him! – It’s the cross we take up as we repent of our sins working out our salvation with fear & trembling & in this process we remove those nails that nailed Jesus to the cross nailing ourselves to it instead – setting him free to be our God & saviour! For it is ex-sinners saved by Grace not sinners saved by Grace that will make it into the Kingdom of Heaven!

    1. if they would clear out the deadwood and put it in a charcoal burner they could get pure carbon nuggets and bury them.

    2. @David after that you do it again and again until the co2 level is acceptable switch to burning the coal in a power generator.
