I have a PhD in particle physics from a top 10 university in the world, and I don't believe climate change is a problem. And I'm also not interested in discussing it (just so that no one comes with bs talking points, I've seen enough). I'm just saying this so that you don't stumble on your own delusional bubble too much.
You don't believe in science. You believe in TV. You haven't read a single peer reviewed paper on the matter, let alone papers that have a different point of view. So spare me your condescending bullshit.
Now go ahead and downvote me so that you can sleep better at night after having excluded me, the infidel. Just remember that many people out there have degrees, educated and read 100 times on the matter than you and disagree with your delusions on the matter. Enjoy four faith in TV.
My brother in Christ, you could have stopped here. Your post doesn't even make an effort to support your argument (no papers, no evidence), you're only spewing bullshit like you're better than some people on the internet. Be better.
You're confusing me with someone who gives a shit. I'm not here to argue science.
You're in a cult. Evidence doesn't matter. Otherwise you would've found the evidence yourself. It's the same shit I face with religious nut jobs defending their ancient books. So spare me your ideals. You're all brainwashed and do zero due diligence and have faith in TV and call it science. That's the current zeitgeist.
Thank you for the kind words, internet stranger. 🤗🤗
I have a second question you say there are people who have read 100x more than us. Where is their work? Everything I can find says the climate change is real and it's human caused.
This is proof that you only watch mainstream media and think you know everything. This is the problem. You never even considered researching the opposite opinion, and you think it just doesn't exist.
And people wonder how censorship makes people more ignorant.
The person you replied to made no such claims and even no implications in their comment. Your ego-maniacal idea that people cannot have differing opinions on things and that they must be less intelligent than you is borderline concerning. You need help.
He made that claim exactly, dumbass. He said that everything he finds supports climate change. What's wrong with you?
You know what? I'm not gonna respect somebody who calls me a dumbass and asks what's wrong with me over a fucking internet discussion. You can go fuck yourself. I'm just not pursuing anything further when somebody resorts to insults and rage-baiting when somebody dares go against their personal narrative. Think that you're smarter than everybody else if you want, that just means you'll get more people like me refusing to engage with you.
You too! As if you had "respect" for me in your first message. Learn how to write respectfully then demand respect, dumbass.
Stop strawmanning my position in your head. The most often anti climate change scientist I saw quoted was Richard Lindzen. Who's position seems to be CO2 causes global warming but it's not as bad as most people predict, but his claims have been refuted repeatedly so please show me the sources you are using. They did a study to investigate his iris effect, his claim being this would cool the planet counteracting the CO2, the study found the iris effect would cause further warming. So again if you aren't just a troll at this point what book or source are you getting this information from?
I have argued with otherwise intelligent people who sound exactly like the person above. It is a strange contrarian mentality with no basis in the science as they claim. I once even took up the challenge from someone who said I was afraid to investigate the "other side". I read every single thing he sent me and they were all rubbish. Not a one of them even support the claims he made. When I responded saying this just fired back that I was brain-washed or carrying water for commies or other such inanities. It became clear after a while that he did not even understand the basics of the greenhouse effect or how CO2 and other gasses cause it. I was utterly flabbergasted.
long story short : the person above may have the degrees they claim but they are not educated on this subject. It is so simple even a layman can understand it so they have no excuse.
You can't expect your opponent to do your research for you.

Since about 1980 experts warn about climate change.

You can measure community's IQ by how far down you have to scroll through "dumb republicans, amirite xdxdxd?" before you reach a post like this one. And that guy with gifs in every message is obnoxious as fuck.
Check. He's the cool kid in town!
