“It would force me to acquire new evidence...”

Too bad that the so-called evidence for global warming is assertions based on models, which are themselves nothing but assertions based on incomplete and usually biased data.

Laughable. The Left has some really poor ‘’experts’ trying to figure out how to manipulate without being caught. But they aren’t good enough at it, as this silly Lance story illustrates. Guy’s father wants to find common ground with his son, and the manipulators think they found a secret way to brainwash people.

There was a Green Revolution involving fertilizer and GMO seeds. Undo that at the risk of policy driven genocide.

Then there is the fact that that Erf’s living biomass has apparently increased over the last couple of decades of increased atmospheric CO2.

Geologist have found river beds in the Saharra desert, that most of the Mediterranean Sea had dried up, land bridges from Europe to Britain, Asia to Japan and Eurasia to North American and The Great Lakes were formed by a massive glacier. Recently a pre-historic shark fossil was found in the Peruvian desert

And now it’s our fault?

It was in the 60’s this garbage started with “The Ice is Coming!!!!!”. I wasn’t even going to get to graduate from high school.

Fear for control

1)Get all the facts on your side
2)Convert skeptics
3)By censoring opposing viewpoints
4)Declare victory

Dear BBC,

Nobody denies climate change. We all know the climate changes.

Please try again, using real words instead of the standard leftist pseudo-religious anti-science verbiage that, at its core, has no actual meaning.

I like to bring up historical photographs of the ocean.

Say, that lighthouse landscape looks really close to the one in this old photo. In fact the ocean is right where it should be!

They aren’t interested in debate. They are doing it to “fix you”.

Which is really the only reason socialists talk to you.

It also shows why you have to 100% eradicate socialists one way or another, because they will never leave you alone, they simply can’t just let you live peaceably with different views and opinions than theirs.

I always just ask, “What do you think is the ideal temperature for the earth? Hotter than now? Colder than now? Now?”

Most can’t answer the question.

From the “Pocket Encyclopedia of Cacti” by Edgar and Brian Lamb:

“in Worthing, in the south of England...during the winter of 1962 we experienced three months of freezing weather, in which time the temperature only rose above freezing for an hour or so on two days!”

No mention of 60+ years scores of “Only Ten Years Left to Save the Planet” headlines.

What can you do when the people closest to you believe climate change is a hoax?

Applaud them!

You can remind them that odds are 50% either way from the get-go; it’s not stagnant.

Then ask them: how would it be better if it got cooler?

Leftards live with Dad because they’re stupid. I stopped asking money from my parents once I hit 19 because I knew how hard they work and didnt want to be a burden.

Reciting the facts isn't always the answer

Well yeah. It only works when they don't know the real facts.

I tell the ecofreaks, “What about the medieval warming period, when the Earth was six degrees warmer than it is now? There wasn’t a single internal combustion engine in the world back then.”

Shuts them right up.
