Yeah, I think that’s nonsense. A feeling that you’re unique or important in some way is hardly narcissism. If that’s true, we’re all narcissists, beca...

The article argues against this point.

That is sad. :up:

It’s common usage, at least among people in New Hampshire. I wear it with pride. Too bad— I’d like to see how/if it works somewhere closer to home.
August 25, 2023 at 00:24
So this thread is now a message board for climate deniers to post whatever “thoughts” pop into their heads. :yawn:

But that’s happening already. Trump was hardly an expert in anything, and pretty extreme. Take a look at the republican candidates. Good lord. Politic...

Presumption of innocence. Plenty of that going on with Hunter Biden, and Hillary Clinton prior (“lock her up”) from the MAGA base. So they feel entitl...

:clap: You mean you don’t want to get lectured about the basic physics of CO2 from a physics professor internet rando?
August 24, 2023 at 17:47
I applaud your patience and explanations. What’s frustrating is that most of this could be avoided if we just say to ourselves “Maybe when thousands o...

I think Desantis looked awful in this farce. Vivek was much more in-your-face, but really obnoxious. Christie looked OK but was loudly booed and didn’...
August 24, 2023 at 03:31
That’s exactly what was said as well! I think Burnham raised that point— that we get our batteries and EVs from China manufacturing. It’s just a joke....
August 24, 2023 at 03:24
Asked to raise their hands if the candidates believe climate change is human behavior driven, no one did so…it was interrupted by Desantis, who seemed...

Anyone watching this debate? Jesus…
August 24, 2023 at 01:38
:yawn: Yeah, because of the two of us, I’m definitely the ignorant one. Now tell us more about how cattle don’t contribute to global warming…
August 23, 2023 at 21:01
Another enlightening conversation for the record books.
August 23, 2023 at 19:17
Yeah, I’m beginning to see the pattern. If Trump or republicans do it, it’s fine. Unless the changes lead to democrats winning…then it’s election inte...
August 23, 2023 at 17:22
From Praxis’s link. I laughed out loud at “very good job.”
August 23, 2023 at 17:13
The appropriate response to such a level of stupidity.

In NOS’s defense, there was a big push to suppress voting. It was done by the Republican parties in several states. Trump was such a terrible presiden...
August 23, 2023 at 16:59
More people got to vote in 2020. Trump wins? Democracy in action. Biden wins? Fraud! Election interference.
August 23, 2023 at 16:51
Hey I just like to meet the person on their level.
August 23, 2023 at 16:47
Changing election laws to allow more people to vote during a pandemic. Election fraud. Why? It favored one party— and we know that because Biden won. ...
August 23, 2023 at 16:45
Yeah, I figured that one would irritate you. Must be frustrating times for the Trump cult. Sorry for piling on. But it’s just so hilarious.
August 23, 2023 at 16:42
:rofl: I couldn’t write better jokes.
August 23, 2023 at 16:12
Without any awareness of irony.
August 23, 2023 at 15:37
Methane emissions do accumulate and are accumulating. The graph is pretty easy to understand. We don’t want them staying the same— we want them to dec...
August 23, 2023 at 15:05
Yes they do, and are. /uploads/resized/files/xk/rzhxhqclza0wkcyd.jpeg Even staying at a constant level for “12 years” is hugely problematic. We need t...
August 23, 2023 at 13:48
No it doesn’t. Emissions are going up. Cows and livestock contribute emissions. They contribute about 15% globally. We need more sustainable agricultu...
August 23, 2023 at 02:08
In 12 years, all the methane will be gone, since this year we’ve completely eliminated cows. Problem solved. — Cows— livestock, agriculture, etc., emi...
August 23, 2023 at 01:55
It absolutely does. But there are no solutions, remember? “Tell me a solution and I’ll shoot it down.”
August 23, 2023 at 01:43
Well with Trump not at the debate, the candidates can talk about REAL issues. The big ones. Like wokeness, critical race theory, trans people, our “de...
August 22, 2023 at 19:31
But…Biogenic carbon cycle?
August 22, 2023 at 15:28
I guess you did have something stupid left to say. Cool.
August 22, 2023 at 01:06
Intelligence, wisdom, knowledge doesn’t correlate with age, nor degrees. You’re a prime example. Like I said, let the adults talk. Go back to reading ...
August 22, 2023 at 00:26
If you have nothing left to add, let the adults talk. I look forward to your next climate denial trope, as myself and several others repeat the “propa...

August 21, 2023 at 03:22
True, but I have more sympathy for those who have been deliberately and systematically brainwashed. Our latest foil is a bit of both, but generally an...
August 21, 2023 at 02:03
That’s at least 6 canards. Climate denial bingo. Yes, they (scientists) have been warning about global warming for decades. And what do we see? This s...
August 21, 2023 at 01:43
Yes, and your assessment of what the “real” situation is should definitely be taken seriously, given your record so far. It’s not like you’ve been ped...
August 21, 2023 at 00:34
We’re not only talking about cows— despite your obsession with them. Anyway, here’s some references if you want to learn: https://thebreakthrough.org/...
August 20, 2023 at 13:23
So too ignorant to understand. Got it. It does not address the very real problem of emissions from livestock, which is on the order of roughly 15%. No...
August 20, 2023 at 12:30
I said it doesn’t address the problem of livestock emissions. It doesn’t address the problem at all, in fact. It’s also a highly suspect source. Just ...
August 20, 2023 at 11:57
Here again it’s worth pausing in awe of an individual’s capacity to believe they know something that scientists, who have dedicated their entire lives...
August 20, 2023 at 11:51
From “goodmeats.” Clue: the keyword here is “if.” (That’s not happening.)
August 20, 2023 at 11:44
That they have nothing whatsoever to do with the problem of emissions from livestock, which is significant.
August 20, 2023 at 11:40
And forests hold carbon too— some for a long time. Clearing them to make room for livestock adds carbon to the atmosphere. This isn’t hard stuff.
