C-c-can't we just all get along?
Poor 'lil snowflake climate deniers got their fee-fees hurt.

All because you're too dense to observe global climate change, doesn't mean that it's not happening. If you're too busy devoting your life to listening to conservative talk radio, it's probably best to defer your judgement to the experts.

Let's be clear, we are tolerant. But your willful ignorance isn't worthy of tolerance. There's too much at stake.

At this point, you and others like you are probably too stubborn and too committed to your position that you'll ever evolve your point of view. Here's the beautiful thing about that.. we don't have to change your mind.

You and the older generation who can't wrap their brains around climate change will die off, and their children will take it seriously. That's how human change happens - generationally.

The most violence I've seen in the past few months were by Hardline conservatives murdering minorities across the country... Let's not make this political as both sides have their problems.

Gravity isn't definitive. It's easy to explain that the heavier the object, the more gravity it has but no one is sure why. Einstein's theory is the most accepted, but people are still challenging it.

The same with climate change. No one is and SHOULD be saying that the climate isn't changing. The polar ice caps and global temperatures are proof of it. There is, however, disputes of how much to attribute to anthropogenic forces. NASA has put out some compelling data showing comparisons between green house gases and temp.

I don't mind curbing pollution, but the politics of AGW are beyond scary.

Glad the president pulled us out of that. They were going to come after aviation hard with their scheme.

I'm talking about the actions that these people wanted to take. The paris accord called for billions to be sent to "developing" nations and the restrictions to meet the 26% goal would have killed jobs aviation jobs included.

I'm just curious where you are seeing that this would have caused massive job loss?
