    Yup, absolutely concern trolling. Now who is ad homing again?

    Your lack of familiarity with the topic makes it difficult to have a conversation with you at all.

    I didn't write that, so which link are you getting it from and lets discuss that.

    Its literally in the links you don't bother to read ffs we go through this every single day.

    https://www.thelocal.se/20190209/start-up-used-child-climate-activist-to-raise-millions
    "
    Ingmar Rentzhog, founder of We Don’t Have Time, asked Thunberg in October if she wanted to sit a Youth Advisory Board for his social media start-up We Don’t Have Time, which she accepted.

    He then used her more than eleven times in the promotional material for a share issue announced on November 27.

    The prospectus promised investors that the venture, which channels just 10 percent of its profits to a charitable fund, has potential to be "extremely profitable” by creating viral environmental content to pull in money via digital adverts.

    Thunberg’s father Svante Thunberg told the newspaper that Rentzhog, who has a background in financial PR, had never informed the family that her name would be used.

    “No, we haven't received any information about that. Neither has Greta,” he told the newspaper. “It is unfortunate if she was used commercially. But she hasn't known anything about this. None of us have known this.”

    Rentzhog founded the company in 2017, aiming to create “the world´s largest social network for climate action"."

    Nowhere does it say “her disabled ass” in the press release. But keep swinging.
    And maybe call the hotline....hahaha

    But if your gonna claim studies, you should be able to demonstrate some knowledge of the study design, data collections, data manipulations and conclusions, especially if you are going to claim causation.

    Lol, you have no idea what you are talking about. And to be fair, most of us don't really know what we are talking about when it comes to climate change. That is what these denialist things are based on. The experts could never be fooled by this stuff, but that isn't who they are targeting. Here are some examples from other anti-science philosophies.

    https://www.naturalnews.com/042012_vaccine_facts_vaccine-damaged_children_CDC.html

    They are targeting the layperson who doesn't know any better, but, notice the theme of telling a simple story about a more complex topic that makes sense to a lay-person. Also, adding sciency sounding talking points: "Mathematical models are unreliable", "Vaccines contain SV40", "Mild interglacial", "Van Allen radiation belts". Of course none of it is backed by any actual science, just sciency sounding storylines. Attacks on the "establishment". And conspiracies that don't make sense.

    You are great evidence of the layperson that doesn't know any better. If you knew anything about models you would know I am right. In fact a very well qualified Japanese climate scientist wrote a book about it but hey, it is more fun to believe in fake doom and gloom as people are very full of themselves as the font of all evil.

    Here is another example of this tactic. Find one small percieved unrelated crack. And then, imagine that it invalidates all of the many many other lines of evidence that exist.

    Lol, again, you don't know anything about these models either. Now, you can always find a handful of either cranks, or stooges to support a narrative. For example:

    Maybe, maybe not. The one thing neither of us are is climate scientists. And even if you were, you would just be one outlier. Just like the doctor that believes in energy healing.

    You still have no clue about computer models. Just sayin.

    You don't know what I know. But it doesn't matter because my entire argument is that regardless, it would only be a tiny piece in a more complicated picture. My point is that we should be listening to what the experts have determined. And not just the outliers who say what we want either. As I've shown, you can almost always find them. Especially when you have the largest special interest group on the planet with a vested interest that position.

    Which experts, the ones you agree with or the ones you don't?

    That's the whole point. That's where the consensus comes in. Since the overwhelming position of medical scientists and doctors is that vaccines are safe and effective, that's the position we should hold. Because almost all actual published research shows the same thing, we can have confidence that it is correct, even if there are a few outliers. The more lopsided those things are, the more confidence we can have.

    Consensus as in consensus from scientific organizations that do not climate science? Consensus is not science. Right now the academic atmosphere is so polluted that if you do not follow the current dogma, you will not get a job. It doesn't matter what the science says, it has become so politicized that it is just another version of PC. Look around at the very qualified scientists that are called 'deniers' because they provide inconvenient science?

    Do you know what the alarmism is based on? It is based on the worst case/least likely computer model RCP8.5. Fortunately observed science is not following RCP8.5 but closer to RCP2.6 which is not considered detrimental.

    Sure, it's politicized. The main reason is that the largest, richest industry on the planet has a deeply vested interest in climate change not being real. But, the science still has to be there. Sure there are stories about which model fits what, and lots of other storylines. But, they are stories that aren't supported by published science, at least not in any way that is convincing to the majority of scientists who specialize in the subject.

    If the alarmist liberals really controlled all of these scientific narratives, would the scientific consensus be that gmos are safe? That nuclear power is safe? That vaccines are safe and alternative medicine is nonsense?

    You live in the bubble. All relevant facts dealing with climate change are found where I’ve indicated. Even the smartest of people don’t have all the answers. What they have is, access to all the answers. We’ve tried to provide you with a little knowledge access . You’re disinterested. That makes you a troll.

    The largest richest country on the planet is spending the most to prove the CO2 hypothesis. Billions of dollars. Millions in grants are at stake for institutions. Money talks. Egos and reputations are something that scientists are not impervious to. Only a few scientists out of the many are actually alarmists.

    We aren’t the largest. You could have been correct just by doing a little research. You really don’t know s.h.i,t about science or what scientists believe.
