Nothing that I said disagrees with what you said. I said that climate change is not a scam, which implies that it is real.

Saying that climate change is a circus, a fiasco, and a gravy train, is a statement about the lack of progress, the unrealistic goals, the blaming of the wrong people, the way that certain groups are protesting, the fact that not enough people are actually willing to do much or pay much to combat climate change, the fact that governments that are more right wing are being voted in and they often don't take climate change seriously, the efforts to force people into EV's, the lack of infrastructure to support efforts to fight climate change, the pushing of unreliable renewable energy at the expense of reliable energy based on fossil fuels, etc., etc.

Human life is a circus and you’re the jester.

Oh, so you agree climate change is an existential threat? Or a probable existential threat?

Most of us who see Mikie is a completely unhinged child do agree with this. For my part, i've never suggested otherwise. He's not often wrong, he's just a patently aggressive, disrespectful and emotionally immature person.
Perhaps "existential" is a bit far in my book, but that's due to something other than "the case right now"

Oh, so you agree climate change is an existential threat? — RogueAI

I see climate change as a threat, but not really an existential threat.

I think that there is a lot of exaggeration going on.

Don't underestimate jesters. Here are some great quotes about jesters:

Jesters do often prove prophets. --- Joseph Addison

Even in the most repressive medieval kingdoms, they understood the need for the court jester, the one soul allowed to tell the truth through laughter. --- Joe Randazzo

The jester is brother to the sage. --- Arthur Koestler

An unemployed jester is nobody's fool. --- Danny Kaye. :rofl:

If you mean the human species will continue, I tend to agree. I don't see us getting wiped out by climate change. But I think we could lose a big chunk of our population if we don't get our act together. That being said, I feel sorry for the developing countries that are late to the party and want to expand their middle class with cheap fossil fuel powered energy the way the first world countries all did, and now they're being told they can't do that. Well, they're going to go ahead and do it anyway.

I agree. And the petrostates are unlikely to stop production because their economies depend on it.

Libya (60% GDP)
Qatar (60% GDP)
Saudi Arabia (46% GDP)
Angola (28.9% GDP)
Oman (26.2% GDP)
Algeria (25% GDP)
Venezuela (25% GDP)
Iran (18% GDP)
Chad (17% GDP)
Kazakhstan (17% GDP)
Russia (17% GDP)
United Arab Emirates (15.67% GDP)

Only to disingenuous, sanctimonious internet twits. I agree it’s a waste of time — and childish — to lower myself to your level. Can’t help myself. Pretentious pukes should be resisted at every instance — that’s my philosophy.

Genuinely worried you're mentally ill. I am not being disingenuous. Your behaviour mirrors my bipolar brother. I will refrain from further comment , leaving this as reasoning for same.

Projection. It’s fairly obvious you’re mentally ill, given that you’ve held some kind of a grudge for literally years (even after being ignored for that amount of time), follow me around, slander and insult me unprovoked, and then continue to obsessively respond even after weeks have passed. All the while trying to maintain an air of being above it all, as if you weren’t the psychopath in this scenario. Being in psychology myself, this is very typical. You see it with most narcissists and sociopaths.

I’ve alerted the moderators already to your behavior.

Anyway- I can see now why I would have put you on the ignore extension, especially given that your other “contributions” are fatuous and remind me of someone who pretends to know it all because they recently took an undergraduate philosophy class.

er. I will refrain from further comment — AmadeusD

Yeah yeah … we all believe that I’m sure. :wink:
