    He's not the one promoting conspiracy theories. I suspect he's laughing just as much as I am.

    You have 3 options- 1: Somehow, almost 100% of scientists who study climate, got a PHD in climate science, and spent their whole lives studying it for a living don't know something that we all learn in 3rd grade, and it's only through your special brilliant deduction that you have cracked through a massive scientific breakthrough. 2: There is a gigantic global conspiracy on the level of flat-earth 3:This is an incredibly stupid stupid argument that can only make sense if you are so ignorant of the science that you have no business even trying to voice an opinion and are only trying to waste everyone's time.

    Which is it?

    This "Land of Iceni." It wouldn't happen to be in Australia would it?

    Ok, so we are in agreement that without man made climate change, these fires would be unremarkable. Good, that's the first step.

    No, religion is nonsense based on feelings and lies. Man made climate change is a reality based on every piece of evidence that there is.

    How did you get that? My question, "exacerbated by climate change that we can do something about" is equivalent to exacerbated by MAN MADE climate change?

    Do you understand that, with each post, you are contributing to the carbon level in the atmosphere?

    I don't have to follow your stupid rules or religion. Fact is that climate nutters want to get rid of all CO2. If they accomplished that then this planet would cease to exist because all life would die. Just ****ing genius, I tell ya.

    If we are on to what we can do about it, then we have stopped denying we are causing it.

    Well, yeah, I suppose I didn't think about the fact that you can just lie, and make stuff up. I just mean that when it comes to real life in the real world where literally nobody says they want to get rid of all CO2, only one of those 3 things can be true. Either that, or every possible and impossible thing is equal, and logic has no meaning.

    The entire climate change nutter religion is based on CO2 being a poison. This your deal, own it. Carbon is the enemy. Yet tomorrow you'll still be using fossil fuels, won't you? Kinda hypocritical isn't it? Maybe not Al Gore private jet level, but the principal stands.

    I'm NOT onto what we can do about it because I'm not convinced that we CAN do something about it! You're not seriously saying that we can do something about ALL forms of climate change are you?

    That sounds like a confession, to me.

    It really appears that you agree with my assessment.

    If you truly held to your proclaimed religious tenets, you would be living in the required fashion.

    'scuse me while I choke back my laughter...

    You mean choking back your non-sequitur? Like, for example if you think government spending is a problem you should never use a road?

    Which do you want to argue? That it's happening, or do we want to go ahead and accept that obvious conclusion and move on to what we can do about it?

    You're emitting carbon with every post.

    It makes it seem like you don't care.

    So, if you have never learned a single thing about how any of this works, why on earth wouldn't you try to argue about it?

    Why is this so hard for you to understand? Climate change IS happening! The question is to what degree are humans responsible for it and how much of it are we utterly powerless to do anything about. The question relating specifically to bushfires, is how much are the bushfires exacerbated by the climate change that humans are responsible for.

    Enough that drought and fires were predicted, and are expected to keep gettign worse. What we can do about it is a completely different conversation.

    You're not even following your own religion. How can you expect to convert me?
