We're a pack of amateurs compared to the expert wind-ups I've seen you finesse. Just sayin'. You know I like you.
This fellow pranced in here talking trash and spouting off about his vast intellect. What did you expect to happen?
Somebody like that is going to be torn apart as though by a pack of wild animals. Standard Operating Procedure.
The latest best guess is probably fire, then ice, so looks like we're all getting cremated whether we want to or not

Fire or Ice we're all going to Hell one way or another.

I think we were arguing about an outcome on a much shorter time frame.
So just read through this⦠A few pointsâ¦
1. Doesnât matter if you believe in global warming or not. Everybody believes in pollution!
2. Pollution is really bad⦠Poisonous in fact.
3. Pollution is man made and CO2 levels are in fact rising.
4. The climate is changing. In the current period it is getting warmer.
5. Ice sheets across the planet are disappearing due to this warming.
So⦠Does CO2 contribute to warmingâ¦? It definitely helps to keep heat in for some time. But the idea that the CO2 in the atmosphere is completely impenetrable is obviously false. Accumulation of CO2 may slow down the radiation of heat energy into space but wonât completely impede it.
The real problem that we have is with pollution and the destruction of the environment. If this trend doesnât reverse our environment at some future time could become unsuitable for human habitation, the only thing surviving being some cockroaches and mutated rodents.
While I donât pretend to understand or know the future of climate change I do know that living in a toxic environment is bad! I think thatâs basically as simple as we can getâ¦
Either way, weâre currently getting warmer and weâre also becoming more polluted at the same time. Doesnât matter if itâs just a coincidence⦠Itâs BAAAAADDDD!!!!!....

You are exhailing polution then! So stop breathing.
Plants love carbon dioxide. We need more food crops.
More CO2 = More Food
Besides, you are too late. The argument is over. Your side lost.
Well I'm not exhaling oil spills or nuclear disasters like Fukushima...!
More CO2 doesn't equal more food... You're being juvenile.
Decreasing man made pollution in general is obviously necessary. There are now 7 billion people on the planet... It's going to be a pretty big mess either way you look at it.
Speaking of oil spills, the one from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon fiasco in the Gulf turned out a lot better than scientists originally thought:

Good one...! We should probably have more of them! ...LOL...
