title:  Rio Olympics Opening Ceremonies Had A Big Message That Made Conservatives Foam At The Mouth
text: Conservatives have something to say about absolutely everything. This time, they re throwing a temper tantrum over one of the major messages of the Rio Olympics   climate change. The Opening Ceremonies featured climate change as one of the central themes, so of course conservatives came out in droves to whine and cry about politicizing the Games on social media.The display started with a boy and an endangered Pau-Brasil tree in the center of the stadium. Then a video of the world played, showing how several major cities would be affected from rising sea levels as the Antarctic ice sheets melt. It was an important message to highlight, and some were pleased that Rio did it.Those people weren t likely anti-science conservatives, though. Brazil has its own environmental problems, so of course that crowd thinks Rio is being massively hypocritical in saying anything about climate change. Here s a hint as to why it s not: One of the purposes of the Opening Ceremonies is to showcase the host nation. It s entirely possible that the Rio organizing committee wanted to send a message about climate change to their own government, as well as to the rest of the world.The anti-science,  climate change is a hoax  crowd wasn t going to let that go unnoticed, though. Everything is evil, liberal propaganda to them if it doesn t fit their narrative, and this part of the Opening Ceremonies definitely didn t fit with what they like to hear (what did they want? Something flashy and superficial, no doubt). So they took to Twitter to lash out as only conservatives can when they re faced with facts.Rio Olympics so far, quite boring   pushing global warming propaganda.They mention N Pole losing ice but NEVER mention growing ice at S Pole  PolitixGal (@PolitixGal) August 6, 2016 #OpeningCeremony at #RioOlympics just went full SJW retard on global warming.

Tunku Varadarajan (@tunkuv) August 5, 2016Makes sense Brazil would focus on global warming. Probably distracts from Zika, corrupt government, and ocean of poop.

They d scream about someone declaring the sky blue if they could. At least when liberals decry anti-climate science speeches and displays, we have the science on our side with which to do so. They just want to whine.Featured image by Clive Mason/Getty Images
