    "Religion" would be a good comparison of either there were any evidence for any religion, or there were no evidence for climate change

    I mean... Shouldn't we all believe the thing that is overwhelming likely to be true?

    Here is the thing about Climate alarmists. They have pounded us until we are bloody but so far have no solutions.

    I don't think consensus is scientific.

    Arguments from expertise are not logically consistent. You simply cannot avoid directly addressing the claims yourself. You cannot abdicate this responsibility to anyone.

    I guess I'll believe the thing that has to be true... Seems like the best strategy.

    You keep acting like belief has some bearing in reality. As if despite all the evidence, we could believe ourselves into levitating. Or as if denying climate change could make it go away.

    I know why CFC's were banned, I said I was around in the '70s, I don't need to read it on twitter and follow a stupid herd like everyone else who believes in the bogus, non-provable global warming theory.

    Yeah, the big hole in the ozone layer. The hole was going to let all the warm air escape and we would all freeze to death. Then 5 years later we still had a hole in the ozone and we're going to burn to death. Bullshit.

    Funny how you touched on the paleoclimate record. Yes, let's talk about geology a bit. Since I know a bit about that subject, I'm calling everyone who falls for this AGW garbage just plain stupid and wrong. Geology tells history. I don't give a damn if some quack predicted something, the fact of the matter is the fossil record proves, 100%, that the Earth was a helluva lot warmer in the past. For millions of years it was warmer than now. Then we had the ice age, and for millions of years it was cooler than now.

    I pretty certain dinosaurs weren't driving gass guzzlers and making electricity out of coal.

    I'm not a science denier, but I am calling these so-called fake AGW scientists a bunch of idiots because they damn sure don't know what they are talking about. I doubt they even know plants rely on CO2 to survive.

    I guess I'll rationalize it by... Bring rational. Doesn't it bother you that you have no real argument here?

    I would say it has some effect on how you view reality, but what do I know?

    Not sure I denied climate change but okay.

    He's no genius, but the problem is mostly ideological.

    Well I never said I didn't believe science that statement makes no sense to me because science is the attempt to remove your bias to think and study things, and not a deity. So it wouldn't have said that.

    So I think you I have fabricated some straw mat and you have been arguing against that for the past 3 hours.

    So you can think you're in whatever position you think you're in.
