    It is totally unreasonable and vacuous.unenlightened

    You obviously think that most people are "totally unreasonable and vacuous".

    Thank goodness we have you to guide us.  :grin:

    Are you claiming that there is no exaggeration and hype about climate change?

    Rather than claiming "not P", I read un as claiming the form of your argument is:

    P
    P
    Therefore, P


    Which is to say you're asserting your opinion three times in a row and citing each rendition as support for the conclusion which is just what you stated at first.

    The claim is with respect to the validity of your argument and not with respect to the facts.

    I think you understood this, but now that it's been explained there ought not be any doubt.

    What you're doing in the first post I quoted is asking a leading question which is not addressing the claim. This will be considered a way of disrupting the thread from here out.

    No, not at all. Not even the slightest amount. On the contrary I might even sometimes exaggerate myself, and more rarely indulge in hyperbole. But some exaggeration and some underplaying averages out at a serious problem, not at 'do nothing'. And my earlier links to actuarial evidence rather demonstrates that there is already a serious problem.

    Most people are worried but ignorant. You are not most people. And don't tell me what I obviously think according to your warped notions. I am fairly clear about what I think and not backward about coming forward with my thoughts, particularly on this topic, you arrogant prat; you, and none other, I accuse of being totally unreasonable and vacuous.
