Because Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and the rest... "CO2 is good for the Earth, it helps plants" (ignoring that most plants are absorbing about as much CO2 as they can already, and ignoring the bigger problem that very little of the Earth is green, and no walls or ceilings to keep the CO2 where plants are), "compact fluorescent bulbs are stupid, they have mercury in them!" (ignoring that the mercury in them and the mercury put into the air by the power plant is less than the mercury put into the air by the power plant to power regular bulbs). And the news media paints it as a debate, having one climate change scientist debate one climate change denier (though the media still refuses to call them deniers and paints them as skeptics) and this isn't just the right wing media, almost all the media in the US presents it as a debate. They don't present the fact that a 97% consensus exists.

Then there is religion. They talk how insane it is to assume that humans, made of God could destroy God's work. That we can't damage the Earth as God made it... of course they take the idea of destruction literal, and not in the way people actually mean when they say it's destroying the Earth. They also don't care about the repercussions of future generations as "Jesus is coming soon, well before any of this will matter"... more or less an actual quote. They believe also that God has granted mankind all authority over the Earth and not that it was stewardship over the Earth, so we can and should do whatever we want.

There's also ignorance. The media, especially the right wing media, portray the idea of climate change as presented is being presented as being only 100% caused by humans, they claim that the pro climate change scientists won't acknowledge any part of it might be natural. The media is playing it as an all or nothing scenario, either humans caused it all, or caused none of it. This isn't what any scientists are saying. They are just pointing out the natural uptick vs the uptick we are seeing is explained by human burning of fossil fuels, and that's what the 97% consensus is about, the uptick we are observing vs what would be expected naturally. But not understanding, and thinking science is ignoring all possible natural causes, they deny the whole thing.

Heck, just look at the media uproar over the supposed mini ice age that is coming in 2030 or so. Of course the actual paper never mentions an ice age or climate at all, and neither did the presentation. The problem was the press release for presentation mentioned the Maunder Minimum and linked to the Wikipedia article about it, and from there the media assumed that would mean a new mini ice age, even though the mini ice age during that time was started before the Maunder Minimum. Nobody in the climate change community is really calling for a mini ice age (just like it was never widely thought in the 70s that we were heading for global cooling, it was understood even then it was warming, the cooling thing came from an article in Time if I recall correctly, not exactly a peer reviewed science journal) come the 2030's, at best we may get a very small slow down of the warming, but CO2 levels are 40% higher than during the Maunder Minimum. Anyhow the media tends to mislead the public with things that wasn't actually said. The right wing media machines especially know that their audience won't vet their sources or information and will trust them and talk about conspiracies to hide the truth. Heck most of the media never even cleared the air over climategate emails, so most of the deniers still cite the climategate emails as a valid thing, even though in context and with scientific understanding none of the climategate claims are valid, and in fact still point to global warming...

There's also the change from "global warming" to "climate change" which they don't understand to be an escalation of the term, and think instead it's toning it down.

Ceiling Cat is unimpressed with this airline.

You can't hide from ceiling cat, especially if you're masturbating.

Hiding from ceiling cat.

One of the tenants in another building of our apartment complex unintentionally attempted this experiment yesterday. He ran a pan of flaming oil from the stove to the bathtub where the applied water caused flames to spread across the ceiling triggering the sprinkler system/alarm. It flooded his 5th floor unit and all of the apartments four floors below it. Sigh

Hey Hey! Look at YOU cracking the 100,000 votes ceiling! Excellent

Since he mentioned that he replaced an old fan with a light, those run on 3 wires (white, black, red) plus ground (earth)- in order to turn the light and fan on/off independently. He must have reconnected those incorrectly in the ceiling. Now the hair dryer acting as a switch means that outlet the hair dryer plugs into is wired incorrectly, and is not a laughing matter.
Yes, he should call an electrician and avoid killing anyone.

We used to do this stuff in high school. And it didn't always end up well...

For example, if you're across the classroom and you're holding a large container of salsa, you would give a quick heads up to someone in on the weird little social bonding experiment, and then throw it at the person. Sometimes they caught it, sometimes not and salsa every where.

However, if everyone was exceptionally well in their reflexes (throwers included), we would take the object (whatever it may be) to the strong man's competition, where we went into the school theater after hours and threw the object straight up into the air, in an attempt tap the vaulted ceiling. Then you take rounds having someone else catch the returning object.

The game ends when the object hits the ground, exploding its contents upon the ground.

So I have to give it to these guys for having an impressive talent rather than destruction in mind.

Ceiling face is watching you be profligate.

Seems cheap enough to coat an entire ceiling with displays now. Fun things would be possible.

*promote cause seriously.. this is art. Lookit the ceiling, the creeps.. the dancing.. just love it.

Oh drat it. Now that you mention it, does look familiar.

Thought this looked familiar.

Wait. What? It does fly? So if I hang it from my ceiling I have a sterling engine ceiling fan. Beautiful craftsmanship though. I'd be more interested in a video about the making of.
