Why give them that? If they're calling you names, you're winning.
That statement is soooooo gaaaaaaaay!
Why give them that? If they're calling you names, you're winning.
Maybe it's just the way you write, but it sounds like they get you going. You're never going to change their mind on this subject, nor they, yours. And if you believe they should change their minds, no doubt they think the same of you. But if you let them get you riled up, then they have something that day, no matter how trivial, that they can feel they've accomplished. Why give them that? If they're calling you names, you're winning.
That said, we all drop our guard occasionally. But it might be a bit more than occasionally for you, futurecurrents. : )
National and international science academies and scientific societies have assessed current scientific opinion on climate change. These assessments are generally consistent with the conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report summarized:
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as evidenced by increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, the widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.[5]
Most of the global warming since the mid-20th century is very likely due to human activities.[6]
Benefits and costs of climate change for [human] society will vary widely by location and scale.[7] Some of the effects in temperate and polar regions will be positive and others elsewhere will be negative.[7] Overall, net effects are more likely to be strongly negative with larger or more rapid warming.[7]
The range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.[8]
The resilience of many ecosystems is likely to be exceeded this century by an unprecedented combination of climate change, associated disturbances (e.g. flooding, drought, wildfire, insects, ocean acidification) and other global change drivers (e.g. land-use change, pollution, fragmentation of natural systems, over-exploitation of resources).[9]
No scientific body of national or international standing maintains a formal opinion dissenting from any of these main points; the last was the American Association of Petroleum Geologists,[10] which in 2007[11] updated its 1999 statement rejecting the likelihood of human influence on recent climate with its current non-committal position.

"Dark Money" Funds Climate Change Denial Effort
The largest, most-consistent money fueling the climate denial movement are a number of well-funded conservative foundations built with so-called "dark money," or concealed donations, according to ananalysis released Friday afternoon.
In the end, Brulle concluded public records identify only a fraction of the hundreds of millions of dollars supporting climate denial efforts. Some 75 percent of the income of those organizations, he said, comes via unidentifiable sources.
Regardless, please prove the 97% or stop quoting it. If those numbers are correct in the WSJ article I posted, the 97% would not hold up under any statistical analysis.
The article completely contradicts itself.
and then it states......
Blahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhaha
So the answer is they don't know.
So you deny that there is huge money going toward deceitful denier propaganda from fossil fuel and related political interests?
Wow, you are one gullible sheep. Even with your new name.
