Never has so much of the body of human knowledge been at people's fingertips, and never have people shunned knowledge to the extent they are today.

 

It's as if everyone---especially right wing politicians---is demanding a new Dark Ages.

 

I think their demands will be met. Humanity takes three steps forward, then two steps back. We're going backwards now.

 

I'm glad I don't have, nor ever will have, kids (unless there's a lapse of judgement). The world they would be inheriting is one of willful ignorance.

back then I cared about some stuff..... now I don't give a rat's <deleted>

Correct the left wants to destroy industry based on climate lies.

I’d rather do that than give up the Earth.

Earth is doing just fine.

Earth 5% greener now than 20 years ago according to Nasa.

Today CO2 = 400ppm, Cambrian Period CO2 = 4,000ppm

Almost all life as we know it developed in the Cambrian Period, and it was really really green.

More CO2 means more plants and bigger crops, plants feed on CO2.

You mean like accepting election defeats?  QAnon silliness? Climate change a hoax? All right wing silliness.

 

How about the talibangicals and bible thumpers who claim virgin births, skydaddies, Earth only 6000 years old, dinosaurs and people living together?

 

In the US, the former POTUS is the epitome of willful ignorance, and he leads a cult that embraces stupidity, lies, and absurdities.

 

The left embraces Frances Bacon's Scientific Method, and has been the guiding force to invention and discovery for generations.

I would consider 'climate change' and 'rising sea levels' in the same basket as 'virgin birth' and 'my girl is different'. 

Everyone gets to choose their favourite madness/fantasy, and welcome to it.

Just don't expect me to share your delusion.

Some people might consider pushing your own personal fantasy and laughing at everyone else's a little bigoted.

 

Climate change is not science, it's religion.

How do I know, because all religions have in common ........ 'destroy the unbeliever'.

Religions and their followers cannot tolerate dissent.

 

If I choose not to believe in 'climate change' what harm does it do you or any other believer? I generate 90% of my own electricity as an unbeliever, which I'm betting is far more than you do as a believer. But I'm bad for not believing, and you're good even though you do nothing to forward your belief.

 

Making you completely irrational.

PS. I am a scientist (UK government retired).

Let's not forget that it wasn't the left who promoted the silliness that "Bill Gates is using the Covid vaccines to inject a microchip into you to control you". An entire truck-driving segment of a former POTUS' cultbase drove to Wash., DC to bark about something/anything, but by the time they got there the only gripe they had remaining was Bill Gates' microchips.

 

That POTUS himself, a prime example of Dunning-Kruger if there ever was one ("I'm a really stable genius") said, "Maybe if we inject a little disinfectant....", then added, "All of these medical people are surprised by how well I understand this thing".  Ah.....no, they were surprised at how dumb he was, and they were reminded in the worst way possible that there is an entire left side of the mean on the IQ Bell Curve, and those people can vote.

 

Reagan (1980, so in line with the OP post) wasn't the brightest light in the sky, but he was Nobel-worthy compared to 45, who was---according to one of his profs at UPenn, 'the dumbest student I ever taught'. Obviously there is a reason 45 blocked every attempt to release his college transcripts.

 

If there is a Pied Piper leading the forlorn into this New Age of Willful Ignorance, it is that bloated clown.

Climate change is a con. There has been little to no warming for 5 years.

I know far more about climate than you ever will. I bet you don't even know the latest 5 year change.

Would disagree, 'us' was 30% of the world population in 1980, 'us' is only 12% of the world population today.

It isn't 'us' that's been over breeding,  in fact if 'our' women don't start reproducing with 'us' a little more, we'll be totally gone in another 100 years.

So who makes up the 88%?

 

Aliens?

Germany highest power costs in world due to greeny movement. Had to start using coal again due to Ukraine.

 

 

I think the fact that every debate descends into a playground level Trump argument shows how far standards have dropped since the 80's.

April 2022 in USA cooler than the 20th century average. Ranks in the middle of 128 years. 

 

Where is the dangerous warming? It is not there.

It does but always started by the left. I'd had these debates for 20 years. Never seen any facts from the left. They just attack with nothing factual to back up their claims. If you are going to discuss climate at least learn the facts.

So true. Their 97% claim debunked. The warming stopped so they changed the name from global warming to climate change. The IPCC got caught fudging data and excluding anything that wasnt in line with the agenda. They call any non believers "deniers". The list goes on. Very toxic.

as the wise old Philosophers said over 2000 years ago.... (paraphrasing, since I can't read)

 

Forget about humanity, only follow your path

Are you the tree trunk or a leaf?  both part of the tree

Forget this chat stuff and work hard at work

we are all dust.   everyone dies.  it's over for us all.

nobody will remember.  all generations will forget.

go inside your mind and make yourself better

all you can do.

 

OK, gotta go to 711 and get some beer and a tuk tuk to Soi 666!!!!!
