I mean, there's only elderly people in the halls of power anyway, it would be like doing a cage fight with the residents of an elderly home. Just pile dive those suckers and move into positions that take the power away from these old farts. — Christoffer
We've tried the friendly educational method for decades. They only become triggered and hostile like it's their privilege to be taken seriously, regardless of how utterly uneducated and downright stupid their ideas are. — Christoffer
The issue is the negative attitude that many climate activists have toward people. —

— Agree-to-Disagree
Yeah, like you for example. Plenty of age and life experience. And yet you’re one of the most ignorant about climate change on this thread and have made no efforts to learn about it, apparently contented with your own unique denialism. — Mikie
If you and others really have nothing to offer this thread but nonsense like this and slogans from Tucker Carlson, why not simply find another hobby? — Mikie
I have researched global warming extensively. Here are a few of the many graphs that I have made. How many graphs like these have you made? — Agree-to-Disagree
And this is the level of discourse climate deniers engage in, folks — Mikie

Mikie has been at this for over 100 pages and 3 years now, just in this thread; some irritation is to be expected, when one cannot get beyond the frigging title of the thread. — unenlightened
Congratulations on figuring out how Google Charts works, and to your series of useless graphs. — Mikie
You seem to think — Agree-to-Disagree
You seem incapable of understanding — Agree-to-Disagree
your perception of others’ abilities to think or understand is worthless. — Mikie
Is Mikie wrong, or is everybody else wrong?
— Agree-to-Disagree
You are wrong. — unenlightened

Did anyone ever wonder why they changed their brand from "global warming" to "climate change"?

It will be global climate catastrophy in a couple of decades. — Benkei
‘Era of global boiling has arrived,’ says UN chief as July set to be hottest month on record — The Guardian
You're inconsistent.Fundamentally, there's no time to massage these truths into their brains. There's really literally no time to do so. Globally we need to run them over and change the course of how society operates, it's that dire of a situation.
The time to friendly massage people into understanding is over, it's either shut up and sit down while the grown ups fix things, or let things collapse until people beg for changes. — Christoffer
What choice, if you plan to "run them over"?This is the choice of that defines the coming decades of the world.
You're missing the point. The point is that your method is ineffective. Which you then simply excuse and blame others.If only Malcolm X had been nicer. If he really cared, he wouldn’t have been so cynical and hurt so many peoples delicate feelings— those poor victims. — Mikie
And thus you annull your climate activism efforts.To each his own though. — Mikie
It's extremely offensive the way you assign to people stances they don't hold and then castigate them for them.The issue is the negative attitude that many climate activists have toward people.

Sorry, but I just have to highlight how incredibly ignorant, judgmental, and immoral this comment is as well. Now that’s in keeping from a posturing, sanctimonious hypocrite who feels entitled to lecture everyone about their appearance while their own approach is being rude, shallow, contemptuous, and instigating — so no surprise there.
But it’s also a common line on conservative propaganda outlets — one of their many ways to undermine the consensus and overwhelming evidence, delay political and social action, and foster hostility (we see this especially in the vitriol aimed at Greta Thunberg) within the environmental movement. How sad. — Mikie
Which is what so much climate activism really seems to be all about: activists feeling good about themselves.It doesn't help to castigate a large portion of society over and over, no matter how good it may make one feel. — jgill

I actually yet have to meet a climate activist who doesn't give the impression that he/she doesn't actually care about the planet and who doesn't give the impression that he/she doesn't actually care about people. A climate activist who doesn't give the impression that all he/she really cares about is himself/herself. — baker
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
