Opening Ceremony Of #Rio2016 Warns Of Climate Change

The Opening Ceremony was last night, and surprise surprise! It got political!

Organizers believe global warming is a huge problem and were kind enough play a quick montage, showing viewers what’ll happen if sea levels rise. This actually happened.

Oh this is cheerful. Rio telling us we’re all gonna die from global warming. #OpeningCeremony

Global warming, African slaves, poverty: The #Rio2016 Opening Ceremony makes political statements. https://t.co/flVREdby56

FFS…climate change. Really?! Can I escape political BS one time? #OpeningCeremony

No. You cannot. There’s no escape these days.

As you can see, the International Olympic Commission cares deeply about the environment and the health and safety of the human race. That explains why they chose to hold the Summer Olympics in Rio– the nasty, economic hellhole. So there’s sewage problems and exposed wires and leaky rooms and crumbling infrastructure and severed arms, dead bodies and fecal matter floating around in the water? So what. Diversity! Global warming! THE GREATER GOOD!

80% of Rio’s sewage is draining into the bay where the Olympic sailing event will take place https://t.co/2HxtQ0WyBd

Am I on crack or is it weird Rio is lecturing everyone on the environment when they have actual sewage floating in the water?

“We need to curb global warming!” – Olympics

“Actually, we’d really like it if you’d tackle our destroyed economy.” – Brazilians

Is Rio telling us about Global Warming? Rio has dead bodies and sewage in its water, right? Lollll????

When Rio lectures us abt pollution & so-called “global warming,” but no one can drink their water. #OpeningCeremony pic.twitter.com/wMmtAIhaBU

I don’t know, maybe Brazil can start its environmental activism by, y’know, not dumping sewage & trash into the ocean…during the Olympics.

That’s the thing about climate change alarmists. They just like to preach at people. They don’t actually want to change their own lifestyles or operations. That’s how global warming whiners are in America, at least. Why would we expect them to be any different elsewhere?

Great mis-direction. Bring climate change message to forefront so no one is thinking about your polluted water, crime, Zika, slums / poverty

The greater good. Focus on that, people.
