Cheers; and as per that thread, the answer is not political, nor economic, neither can provide a solution. The issue is ethical.

So you are going to play games. We can all play that passive - aggressive game. What conclusion would you have us draw from the data you presented? Yo...

SO - piece your argument together. Move from that data to your conclusion.

This is the wrong forum to try this climate denying shit.

Indeed; they seem to hope no one exposes their guff to that scepticism. It's an odd intellectual arrogance, akin to saying "I am the one who is allowe...

The GISP2 data. A disappointing cliche. Now you just look sad.

It's good to know that some worthwhile thinking continues, albeit mired in the religious slop that makes up most of these fora.

No, it's not. It's just an uncomfortable analogy, so you ignore it.

It seems that our interlocutor will not be convinced.

There's something in this, perhaps, about bad faith. About being overwhelmed for the consequences for yourself rather than grief at your brother's dea...

So who is it I am talking to? Ah. It's all in out heads. Perhaps cannot directly experience climate change; perhasp if we all ignore it, it will go aw...

Be fair; it hasn't caused the end of the world yet. But I suspect that even after it has, @"Tzeentch" will still be mumbling some excuse.

Oh, nothing... nothing at all. I'm not sure why you bought it up... (my italics). So you are now saying the notable drop in biodiversity is not a mass...

The climate is not changing fast enough for you? It should just get on with it, in order to convince you - scientific evidence taking too much time an...

So you agree that we are presently enjoying a mass extinction?

Hmm. SO this is based on - hope? You are of course sufficiently erudite to be aware that we are already in throws of a mass extinction?

Mmm.

I understand that. I'm asking you if you think this so because the global increase in temperature is not man made, or if the increase will not result ...

So you deny that the present global increase in temperature is caused by folk releasing CO2? Or you deny that the climate changes this is causing are ...

Quite true. Bu that even a near minority did, carries my point.

Excellent post. Stopping now for a sleep and a think.

Me. I missed it.

A good point. Made earlier by someone else. It shows how undemocratic such notions actually are.

Yep.

Because behaviour is malleable. Doubtless the cop will have a submachine gun to keep the peace. It's an oddly American view, but it has leached out in...

Yep.

The public voted for Trump. Not a good track record.

I'd be interested in more on this. It would suit my own prejudices nicely if the argument for privatisation turned out to be based on a lie.

Going to university to learn a trade... That's the crack in education, right there.

...and there goes Meta, wandering lonely as a cloud...

What?

No idea what that means. Is it a Californian thing?

...abd that's were we went wrong. It is a moral equation. That's the point of this thread - to point out that the solution is neither political big fa...

Fear. Might work. It would have to be something really direct; in-your-face. But that's just the Big Fat Dictator.

Tedious.

Interesting proposal. Let me check that i understand. You say: I would not be easily convinced that there could be a bearing that was decided, as it w...

Give him the money, if you can.

Indeed.

mmm.

Pretty much.

I haven't been aware of such a discussion with Un. So...?

Why?

Gunner Amen. Your very name lends to distrust.

Not I. A regulatory body with teeth falls under the Big Fat Dictator solution. All well and good, but I want here to expose the morality of the very n...

When someone says this, walk away.

This thread should be part of the general Trump conversation. Expressing a general dislike for any thread that might start thus.
