You asked for it. You've been claiming that climatologists have been lying about climate change by posting conspiracy theories.

Another victim of the Big Tire propaganda. I don't think you realize how badly you've undermined yourself with this comment. I'll leave you for a while to figure that out.

It's unclear whether you're claiming that the left promoted those alleged lies, or challenged them.

It's always difficult to know what MAGA supporters mean by "the left" since it usually signifies everyone who doesn't toe the MAGE line. What is clear is that you've stated an utter falsehood. I'll be charitable and surmise that you don't actually bother to read or watch media sites from what you call the left, So your claims are due to ignorance. What happened at the protests in Iran? Protests erupted in Iran on 28 December 2025. People across the country, outraged at decades of repression, were demanding fundamental change and a political system that respects human rights and dignity. Iranian authorities have responded with an unprecedented deadly crackdown and, since 8 January 2026, cut all internet access to conceal their crimes. Security forces have used unlawful force, firearms and other prohibited weapons, against protesters, which resulted in mass killings and serious injuries. Verified videos and eyewitness accounts gathered by Amnesty International show that security forces positioned on the streets and on the rooftops of buildings, including houses, mosques and police stations, have repeatedly fired rifles and shotguns loaded with metal pellets at protesters, frequently targeting their heads and torsos. Evidence gathered by Amnesty International reveals that security forces involved in the deadly crackdown include the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Basij battalions and various divisions of Iran’s police force, known by its Persian acronym FARAJA, as well as plain-clothes agents. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2026/01/what-happened-at-the-protests-in-iran/ Disappeared bodies, mass burials and ‘30,000 dead’: what is the truth of Iran’s death toll? Testimony from medics, morgue and graveyard staff reveals huge state effort to conceal systematic killing of protesters Their observations, shared with the Guardian and combined with accounts from morgues and graveyards across the country, begin to reveal the vast scale of violence inflicted on Iranians during the state’s crackdown. Ahmadi and his colleagues are hesitant to provide a figure for the toll but agree “all publicly cited death tolls represent a severe underestimation”. Comparing the number of dead they witnessed with hospital baselines, they estimate it could exceed 30,000, far surpassing official figures. This is based on the conclusion that “officially registered deaths related to the crackdown likely represent less than 10% of the real number of fatalities”. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jan/27/iran-protests-death-toll-disappeared-bodies-mass-burials-30000-dead How Iran Crushed a Citizen Uprising With Lethal Force In Tehran, the capital of Iran, security forces opened fire at protesters from the roof of a police station. In Karaj, they fired live rounds into a march, shooting one person in the head. In Isfahan, young men barricaded themselves in an alley as gunfire and explosions rang out. Scattered protests had percolated since late December, starting with a strike in Tehran’s bazaar and fueled by a plunging economy. But by early January, Iranians had revolted en masse, and the security forces began to crack down with deadly force. https://archive.ph/8PcYx https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/world/middleeast/iran-how-crackdown-was-done.html You've got nothing.

You made the claim. Now you want me to do your job for you. If you can't or won't back up a claim, don't make it.

Thanks for distorting the meaning of my quote. I said that not even American claims it ships are invincible. As for the claims that many members have said this of the Iranian navy? Really? You got proof of that?

The significant word being "protestors". Even Hegseth could only offer a non-denial denial of who was behind the bombing.

I don't think even America claims its own ships are invincible. You got any evidence to back up such a claim for Iranian ships? You should be working for the Trump administration.

Not really. If that were the case, then there wouldn't be U.S. imposed sanctions in the first place. When it comes to fossil fuels,American oil interests come first. It's just that in this case, keeping those sanctions in place could actually drive oil prices even higher. Which politically would be a bad thing. So I guess I should amend my comment to politics first, oil second, and russia third.k

Good thing that their nuclear capability was destroyed about a year ago. Or so the Trump administration claimed.

And what has that got to do with the constantly changing justifications for going to war? The US is lying to help Israel?

This is hardly confined to the USA. Russia comes to mind. Can you believe that Russia actually made it a crime to call it's war against Ukraine a war. Instead the Russian government insists that it be called a Special Military Operation. How Orwellian is that? Russian citizens have actually been imprisoned for violating that law.

This repulsive: Trump says Iran at fault for strike on girls school President Donald Trump on Saturday denied U.S. involvement in a strike that killed more than 165 people at a girls’ elementary school in Southern Iran, instead placing the blame on Iran. When asked aboard Air Force One Saturday whether the U.S. conducted the Feb. 28 strike, Trump said, without evidence, “No, in my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, standing next to the president, took a more cautious tone, saying the government is still “investigating” the attack but adding, “The only side that targets civilians is Iran.” https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/07/trump-iran-girls-school-strike-00818163 Even Hegseth uttered what was a non-denial denial. Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation, ‌two U.S. officials told Reuters... The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters, did not rule out the possibility that new evidence could emerge that absolves the U.S. of responsibility and points to another responsible party in the incident. Reuters could not determine how much longer the investigation would last or what evidence U.S. investigators are seeking before the assessment can be completed. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-investigation-points-likely-us-responsibility-iran-school-strike-sources-say-2026-03-06/

Thanks to antidisestablishmentarianism. Ever since first grade I've been waiting for an opportunity to use that word. Thanks, Mike B Bad, for helping me to realize my lifelong dream.

Obviously, the point of the article was to counter the belief that because a certain section of the US had an unusually cold winter, that means the winter in the US on the whole was colder than usual. When in fact it was the second warmest winter for the US on record. Anthropogenic climate change denialist, use partial data all the time to counter the scientific evidence that Earth's atmosphere is warming. Of course, even this report is partial since it only includes the US. The article did note that lots of warm temperature records were set in the USA but no cold ones. In fact, worldwide warm temperature records are being set at a pace that far outstrips cold ones. If the global climate system was stable, this shouldn't be the case.

The diffference is that no one could reasonably claim that the US actions in Libya amounted to war. In fact, the Trump administration line of defense is unreasonably claiming their actions don't. Among other things, Trump has specified that Iran must unconditionally surrender. Trump has actually said the US must have a role in choosing a new leader of Iran.

I refuse to put on winter tires because:... • The tire manufacturers scare us with winter just to enrich themselves. • In fact, I read on the internet that the tire giants invented snow and spread it at night when you sleep. • If I have winter tires, the government can track me in the snow. Educate yourself, open your eyes, stop being sheep! https://similarworlds.com/politics/4178417-Obvious-parody-I-refuse-to-put-on-winter-tires

There was a decisive winner to the Lower 48 states’ split screen winter — a battle between frigid cold in the East and record warmth in the West. Anyone in the East who shivered through this winter could be in for a shock at the outcome. In the end, the warmth won out, and this winter will likely be ranked among the warmest such seasons for the contiguous US. In fact, two data sets preliminarily show that the Lower 48 states saw its 2nd-warmest winter on record. https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/07/climate/warmest-winter-us-east-versus-west

So what's your plan? Oh, that's right. You don't have one. Oh wait...my mistake...it's something has to be done. You don't know what, but something. And the Trump administration is going to be the one to do it. Just a few months ago, the regime in Venezuela was a major drug cartel according to Trump.. That regime is still in place but... Trump "also complimented Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s interim president, who has offered “to collaborate” with the Trump administration. “She’s doing a great job working with us,” he said. Last week, the US legally recognized the Venezuelan government." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/07/trump-shield-of-americas-summit

USAID cuts may lead to more than 14 million deaths globally, including 4.5 million children under 5 by 2030, researchers say Projections by the researchers show that if USAID cuts continue, more than 14 million additional deaths could occur by 2030, including over 4.5 million among children under 5, or about 700,000 extra child deaths per year. The figures reflect the projected consequences of halting funding not only for health services but also for critical sectors such as nutrition, education, water and sanitation and humanitarian relief. The study warns that the impact of USAID cuts could extend beyond the agency’s own programs: international donors may also reduce their commitments, further weakening service delivery in countries already dependent on external support. https://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/USAID-cuts-global-impact-14-million-deaths?utm_source=chatgpt.com Those look like holocaust league numbers.
