Well the first one is just a normal Tuesday. Still likely effected by global warming, but not really disasters like the other three.

As more and more of the US economy is dominated by energy extraction (O&G sector consistently has some of the largest margins and highest pay rates in Red and Purple States) and energy consumption (AI data centers are electricity hogs, automotive/airline industry is a voracious petroleum consumer, real estate HVAC hits the grid hard during heat waves/freezes) it becomes difficult to convince people of a thing that they are paid well not to believe.

The risk of a natural disaster obliterating your livelihood in an instant is much lower than the prospect of a creditor foreclosing on your property and savings if you're unemployed for too long.

wasn't it called climate change?

Nah now it's climate exchange

We might be at climate conundrum, survival of life as we know it or more short term profit for the few.

global warming is the raising of the global average surface temperature. This causes climates of many regions to change. It wasn't renamed, it's just two connected phenomena

The post says "global warning"

The Bush administration coined the term climate change to try and soften the urgent or legitimacy of the issue, Bush at one point owned an oil company.

The Bushes owned fucking Texas, and expanded into Florida.
