Yeah, it definitely pisses me off to read people saying that the government isn't changing the weather.
Climate change is human caused, and every government subsidizing carbon extraction has blood on their hands.
There is a colossal difference between "the government CONTROLS the weather" and "the government participates in climate change"
The government has chosen to invest in fossil fuels to the detriment of all other energy sectors, knowing full well that one of the consequences would be that more people would die in extreme weather events. They exercised control over the market, and it had fully predictable effects on weather and human beings. There's clearly still a difference, but it's not that "colossal."
I can shit inside a car and make it unbearable for everyone, that does not make me the one who controls the car.
