You just described all the global warming/climate change hysterical fear mongering coming from the hysterical Left Wingery. Yes, we can safely ignore the Democrat weatherman who reports a tornado when it's still sunny and clear and calm outside... :D Once again.. Ya'all's "arguments" prove my own point.. :D Congrats, Russ.

I can just imagine them standing outside as the wind is ripping their single-wide to pieces asking their Ma to pass the sunscreen! It is why we hear stories of people that tested positive in the hospital who are dying but refuse to accept that they have COVID. Then again, these folks have been conditioned to ignore the facts that are obvious in support of idiotic claims with no basis in reality. The GOP’s survival has depended on it for decades.
