Satire -- MESOPOTAMIA — Onlookers erupted in shouts of ridicule for a prominent local man, as apparent idiot Noah decided to build an ark when he could have just paid more taxes to stop climate change. Despite his fellow villagers suggesting he simply pay his "fair share" in taxes to avert a potential upcoming climate catastrophe, the patriarch chose instead to invest heavily in construction materials he would use to build a gigantic boat. "What a moron," one witness said. "Look, we've all heard the rumors that something really bad is bound to happen with our climate, but we've all agreed that the best solution is to just pay more taxes and make climate change disappear. Instead of going along with that plan, ol' nincompoop Noah here would rather build an ark."https://babylonbee.com/news/idiot-noah-builds-an-ark-when-he-could-have-just-paid-more-taxes-to-stop-climate-change
