In fairness, the witness was a skier who was just there to say "I've noticed the landscape is changing a lot."

I feel like everyone with a middle-school education should know what carbon dioxide is, but, well, some guys don't pay a lot of attention in middle school.

And Greta Thunberg is just some child. These are the spokespersons they are choosing to use to push these hoaxes. Why defend the climate grifters, when they choose these people to hide behind?

You can have a guy testify to "the slopes look different" without expecting him to also be an expert on the science of climatology.

[–]Questionable[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

Sure why not? He can testify that "the slopes look different", and in turn he can then be rightfully eviscerated for not knowing what carbon dioxide is.

Sure, if you play the game, people are gonna be dicks to you. I don't feel sorry for him, I just don't think this incident proves anything... except that people are dicks.

[–]Questionable[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (8 children)

Yes, that is how a propaganda war is waged, prop up children as shields, and when they are spoken down to, call the opposition party uncaring dicks.

The guy we're talking about is not a child. He's a skier who's like "Whoa, there's way less snow now, man."

Shh! Don't disturb the narrative. Questionable only has 3 talking points. You can't drag her away from the one she's settled on.

So which is he? A "skier dude", an "expert witness" or "a child". I'll let you decide.

In addition, actual grammar rules dictate that gender defaults to male. So stop fantasizing about my sexuality. It's fucking gross.

This is your only warning. No means no.

[–]ActuallyNot 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.

Human activity has increased it to about 436 ppm, far above the range of about 170ppm to 280pp that it has oscillated between for the past 2 million years to so.

In addition, actual grammar rules dictate that gender defaults to male.

You come across a female sometimes.

So stop fantasizing about my sexuality.

I'm doing nothing of the sort. You're projecting again. Stop fantasizing about your own sexuality.

This is your only warning.

PMS?

There's not many children over the age of 9 that have a worse understanding of the greenhouse effect than you do.

Because it's not that hard. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, increasing the concentration of greenhouse gasses increases the greenhouse effect.

Unfortunately they don't get a vote, so their only option is protest.

propaganda war is waged

Hahahaha!

Oh god, your belief system: It's so tiny.

[–]Questionable[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

You believe that my belief system is tiny, as I have used the words "propaganda war"

What an odd thing to say.

[–]ActuallyNot 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Your little reality is funny because it's so tiny.

Everything outside your your little island of dogma is "propaganda".

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

As you are rightly eviscerated for not knowing what a cloud is, and continually failing to understand the greenhouse effect.

[–]GuyWhite 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

He was a moron and Kennedy showed him up for it.

[–]Hematomato 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Or: Kennedy decided to be a jerk to a skier because he knows it gets you hard for him.

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yep. And he can be right. There's less snow and ice.

Which is a major contributor to sea level rise. And there's a lot more of that in the post. The last time CO2 levels were 400ppm sea levels were at least 30 feet higher than they are now.

There

You think a 21 year old woman is a child?

How old do you have to be to be an adult in your little world?

These are the spokespersons they are choosing to use to push these hoaxes.

The hoax that CO2 is a greenhouse gas?

That's not a hoax, and we've been through this before. You know this. At this point you're just lying.

Why?

Why defend the climate grifters, when they choose these people to hide behind?

You know that all the money is from the fossil fuel industry. People don't own global sunshine reserves or global wind reserves. The grifters are all the denialists.

We've been through this too. So again, you intentionally play the part of the deceiver.

Why?

For some reason you didn't use the term "expert witness". Why is that?

Something we need more of, trees need it

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Trees managed to survive 180 ppm during the glaciation cycle of the past couple million years.

Why do they need more than 426 ppm?

Here in Louisiana, we are very proud of our Senator Kennedy. I’ve donated lots of money to his campaigns and PAC.

Kennedy has common sense and he can reduce the woke bullshit into a pile of rubble while everyone’s sides hurt from laughing.
