She has been used by the green lobby as their poster girl. The press would sooner listen to her than scientists

@Sujbftihe She listens to the scientists. They think climate change is real and man made.

The problem is that scientists are divided in their models about what is causing climate change. At the moment only one side is being listened to. @Burnley123]

@Sujbftihe The problem is that 98% agree and that 2% are funded by the fossil fuel lobby.

That is the stuff put about by the media. They were the same media who told us that Biden was competant@Burnley123

@Sujbftihe Not really: https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/ (you can find all the first party sources within the page)

So Biden is competant? @Elessar
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Sujbftihe I don't know, he's been in office for just 7 month, and I haven't yet heard of him raving about curing people with injections of disinfectants and UV light; or asserting that a virus that is at the same time "a Chinese bioweapon" and a "liberal hoax" would've disappeared on its own, by doing nothing to contain it and just going on with business as usual.

In any case I couldn't care less about Biden, I'm not a fan, the topic being discussed here is Greta Thunberg, and tangentially the position of the scientific world in respect to her declarations. Learn to stay on topic, perhaps.

So you prefer the green hoax? @Elessar
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Sujbftihe The only hoax is assuming conservatives these days come with a functioning brain.
@Sujbftihe Massive forest fires across the Mediterranean region and rainfall being recorded up Greenland mountains are two pieces of evidernce it is not a hoax.

Nobody is disputing global warming. What we are disputing is some of the reasons given@autumngirl27
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Sujbftihe You're not disputing anything, when almost the entire scientific community as a whole has reached consensus on it being anthropogenic. You're just denying reality, as conservatives' typically do, because accepting it would inconvenience you. Look at how y'all reacted to the coronavirus.
Sujbftihe · F
So what? Almost the entire scientific community didn’t believe Galileo or Einstein @Elessar
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Sujbftihe Ahhh, the extents you folks go to reject reality 😆

It was the Catholic Church that had an issue with Galileo, FYI, and the "scientific community" of the epoch had absolutely nothing of "scientific" in the modern sense of the term.

It's a circus at this point. "the virus doesn't exist -> the virus is a cold -> THE VIRUS IS A CHINESE BIOWEAPON, BETTER HOARD ON TOILETPAPER!!! -> okay but restrictions suck, it's again just a flu, kung flu! I'm fun amirite?? -> BILL GATES 😱😱 -> climate change is not real because the 98% of the scientific community can't be trusted, because against my beliefs and my right to make CO2". 🎉
Sujbftihe · F
Wrong. It was the scientists who rejected him first. Use your brain buddy. And who is talking about the virus, moron? @Elessar
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Sujbftihe Strange outfit for a scientist, lol
Sujbftihe · F
Learn history dumbo@Elessar
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Sujbftihe So your idea, then, is to do...nothing? Well,look what doing nothing for decades has done to the planet.
Sujbftihe · F
Not at all. But first we must get the modelling right. @autumngirl27

@Elessar Buddy, I think 'she' is a troll profile.

There is no posting history. The profile is called Tory67 and Tory is a name for the UK Conservatives. Our Conservatives are not usually climate change denialists and don't hate Hillary Clinton.

Also stupidity is displayed by the flippant answers but some meagre intelligence is there when they mentioned modelling.

I think it's a fake profile and someone is (badly) attempting parody. It's a dweeb pretending to be a Karen.

@Burnley123 I've had the Galileo conversation already in the past and also that time it was brought up by them, so I think I know who we may be dealing with...

It was a rather dull day over here anyway, I didn't mind killing some time by replying.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Elessar Its all good. Just to let you know, I think it's a fake profile.
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Burnley123 Well, thanks for the heads up anyway 👍
