Big Geophysics, that’s a little fishy. The level of consensus that the earth is spherical is suspect. It’s about the funding. I look at the data mysel...

Trump Stocks E.P.A. With Oil, Gas and Chemical Lobbyists Lol — it’s like bad satire. Climate deniers back in charge. It’s basically too late anyway, a...

January 25, 2025 at 12:28
I very much agree. Didn’t think I’d be writing that in 2025.
January 25, 2025 at 03:42
Good post. A lot of good resources to ignore— in favor of the latest from Steve Koonin or the CATO Institute.
January 25, 2025 at 03:31
Is this a joke? You can Google it— the history of these companies isn’t obscure.
January 25, 2025 at 00:09
Elon Musk is a fraud. I’m not surprised by the dupes who buy that he’s a genius. For the record: he did not found Paypal. He wasn’t even the CEO of th...

As LA continues to burn due to climate change, it’s worth remembering this is global, and just the beginning: https://www.wri.org/insights/global-tren...

Am I the only one that finds discussions about AI boring? Curious…
January 24, 2025 at 14:31
Like what? I’ve never been impressed by Elon. His engineers and developers are amazing people. The fact that he owns companies isn’t impressive. Bring...

Climate deniers have the intellect of a fruit fly, but consider that a compliment. :lol:
January 24, 2025 at 14:07
What I find hilarious is that it’s not just “alarmist,” which we’d all understand— he has to, each time, type out “climate change/global warming alarm...
January 24, 2025 at 11:11
Elon isn’t a Nazi and this whole thing is kind of silly, on the one hand. On the other hand, he’s got the intellectual capacity of a 10 year old, and ...
January 24, 2025 at 11:07
Not going to happen, but if it did I’d praise the move. I can’t see it happening because I don’t imagine Trump will agree to Russian terms regarding a...
January 24, 2025 at 11:00
What if the person is a well-established idiot and the statement is tired, long-refuted, regurgitated denialist bullshit? See above. We’re on (3)b.
January 24, 2025 at 02:54
So he cites the Cato Institute. :rofl:
January 23, 2025 at 23:05
Conversations with climate deniers: (1) Stupid bullshit stated that you’ve heard a million times and that has been debunked a million times. (2) You w...
January 23, 2025 at 22:49
Trump said he’d end this war on day 1. So already his stupid bullshit is becoming obvious. Oh wait — we can’t take him seriously when he talks. It’s j...
January 23, 2025 at 21:59
Just for some realism, for balance: Or, as climate denying idiots would say: “No climate predictions have come true!”
January 23, 2025 at 17:29
Yeah, everyone knows calling out a genocide is antisemitic.
January 23, 2025 at 16:54
No doubt. Granted, Biden sucked at communicating too, but that’s his age. I’ve looked at older videos of Trump talking — he was a little better, but b...
January 22, 2025 at 23:58
:lol: God this guy has the communication skills of a 7th grader.
January 22, 2025 at 23:48
So we should take bets — when will the disgusting terrorist animals continue their genocide? The over/under is at 40 days. I’ll take the under.
January 22, 2025 at 21:41
Cool! Bye. Now as I was saying about the genocide: glad it’s temporarily over, but figure the terrorists will break it. So goes Likud.
January 22, 2025 at 19:17
:rofl:
January 22, 2025 at 15:50
:lol: Same stupid justifications, over and over. Maybe a learning disability; probably just willful ignorance.
January 22, 2025 at 15:49
“Impending doom” lol. Whatever it takes to deny what’s happening I guess. “They were saying the world will end decades ago and it never did!” Climate ...
January 22, 2025 at 13:38
:lol: Yes, keep up the good work of genocide apologetics.
January 22, 2025 at 13:30
The murderous savage terrorists finally agree to a ceasefire, after killing thousands of babies and reducing the region to rubble. They’ve achieved li...

January 22, 2025 at 01:56
Fair enough — no worries.
January 22, 2025 at 01:55
No, your point was that I overestimated popularity. I didn’t. Your second point was how I underestimate how difficult it is to pass legislation. I did...
January 22, 2025 at 00:42
Republicans. Good try. Bye.
January 22, 2025 at 00:16
Something so general and so irrelevant is nonsense to me — but maybe vacuous is better. No, I don’t. Take a look at any reputable polling on the issue...
January 21, 2025 at 21:08
Eh, that’s kind of nonsense. Or one could say the same thing about conservatism, or anything really. Just an east slogan for those who like to talk in...
January 21, 2025 at 20:33
Trump’s crony achieved in a few hours what Biden kept pretending to want for 15 months. Not a great look for Democrats. Will Trump continue to defy th...
January 21, 2025 at 18:09
You’re right— but why some stupid stories and explanations are even accepted depends largely on evened people are afraid or unhappy. Biden and democra...
January 21, 2025 at 17:53
Yeah, we knew about fossil fuel burning producing CO2 and that CO2 was a greenhouse gas back in the 19th century. By the 1950s, it was becoming obviou...
January 21, 2025 at 17:38
During the beginning of the second era of idiocy, this thread stuck out to me as perhaps worth revisiting. My answer has increasingly become more soli...

What a surprise that the cybertruck guy was a MAGA nut. :rofl:
January 07, 2025 at 02:55
Well it isn’t, you see, because I’m super smart and skeptical and have spent 5 hours reading Bjorn Lomburg. Nothing to worry about because it gets hot...
December 12, 2024 at 04:51
If you assume there’s no wrongdoing on the corporate side — which is obvious here — then there’s no need for nuance. It’s black and white: a business ...

We should all be hoping that this man’s death leads to something as good as a radical change in the US healthcare system— this way his demise wouldn’t...
December 11, 2024 at 22:02
Cool. Hope you grow up eventually.
December 11, 2024 at 21:56
Yes, that’s exactly what we’re saying. If that’s too much for your delicate sensibilities and black-and-white “moral compass,” so be it. As adults, ho...
December 11, 2024 at 21:53
Actually, I’m not sure about that. That sounds good— it’s what you hear all the time by guys like Josh Shapiro. It’s conventional and comforting. But ...
December 11, 2024 at 21:14
They have not done so. They haven’t been given the option. Anyway, fuck this guy. I’m not in favor of murdering people you don’t like, but people are ...
