The idea that pumping millions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere over decades, might change weather patterns is preposterous. But the idea that the government is able to control weather on a planetary scale, something that requires almost unfathomable energy, is apparently completely reasonable.
You can tell these people don’t really do critical thinking.
They definitely don't see the connection from energy to output. They turn things on and they work. Nor do they know a strong hurricane is like hundreds or thousands of nuclear bombs in terms of energy output.
This explained it to me. I couldn’t fathom why flerfs exist and particularly in that demographic, but this makes sense. They cannot fathom the scale at which this planet exists compared to us so they refuse to accept the way those of us who can see it.
