See, this is simply incorrect. An overwhelming majority of well educated scientists across all fields acknowledge climate change. That's a fact.

True but they do have disagreements on the cause, man or a natural cycle.

Somewhat back on topic...I had a customer recently approach me, and in a conspiratorial tone ask, "Since you're a pilot and smart about stuff like this, we never really landed on the moon, did we?"

I told her we actually did. She got all huffy, apparently because I wouldn't confirm her suspicions, and said, "There's no way! No way they could survive the radiation exposure in space!"

I started to explain how the ships were shielded against the radiation, but it was still a concern...she wan't having any of it and hurried away.

I should have given her the web site so she could calculate the radiation she was going to be exposed to on her next flight... :rolleyes:

From what I've read, there is not much disagreement that man hasn't had at least some effect on climate. That being said, the major disagreements occur over what all this will lead to and just how much impact we will have by curbing our emissions.

I'll bet my entire next month's salary that she didn't vote for Clinton.

So they are funded by corporations that have a vested interest in avoiding environmental regulations? Got it...

I'm not saying people aren't acting irresponsibly on the left, but to say all the violence is coming from them is utterly garbage.

The most basic google search of the Portland idiot will show he was a Sanders supporter. Facebook screen shots and all. He hated Hillary and to a lesser degree Trump. But since MSNBC and Salon told you he was a white supremacist, well then he must be "hardline conservative."

How long can we produce billions of tons of additional greenhouse gasses before it starts working on temperature? How long will mines and oil wells last? What will we do with all the garbage? How will a lone grandchild support his family and the remainiing generations in front of him? The answers will come easy when we can curtail the need to send our children to kill the neighbors that we don't like. Till then, "Party on Garth"!

Exactly. Easily researched and even the most rabid of Trumpers and anti-science anti-truth people can't deny the relationship. But they will anyway.

Just agree with a flat earth kook or a moon landing denier or a chemtrailer....and walk away. They just want an argument and if you agree with them they have nowhere else to go.

Actually, according to the left, simply being born white is racial discrimination on your part.
