Hi Sawboss,

You and I know each other from IRC of course. I hesitated to post but knew you would respond rationally in kind.

In the final analysis it's not about who can shout over whom--it's about reasoned positions backed by the best available knowlege.

R*ddit has become a shouting match over ideology. You've proven that we can get beyond talking points and assess the facts. I can see you feel the same way.

You and I may not agree on this one but if I see the science that global warming is not caused by human activity then I'm perfectly happy with that result. In the vernacular, "I don't give a shit about posturing, I care about the facts."

It's not even that we strongly disagree. I do believe that the climate changes. I am not convinced that those changes are driven by human activity to the extent that many other people seem to. Either way, it's a much lower priority for me than finding some way to avoid the coming civil war in America which is currently being fueled by fake news and social media.
