“Notwithstanding that comment though, his conclusion that “climate change” is bullshit is one I became in sync with about 30 minutes after I first heard the term years ago. “
Similarly, I knew in 30 seconds, however. I like to know things and I have a hight science, engineering, and math background and so I enjoy investigating these things. So for the last 20 years, I have read and read at least an hour or two every day. It fascinating to learn about the complexity of the things we do know, but also how much we do not know that we do not know of planetary functions and cycles between the atmosphere and the oceans and space and the stars. It is amazing to watch how shoddy measuring methodologies are, and untrue assumptions that are made, and the sloppy statistics used to analyze all of which are locked away from public analysis like fort Knox, and FOI requests are fought bitterly, while data is adjusted year after year with no accounting, but the original data magically gets destroyed. It amazes me how any with any valid questions people gets shut down so quickly and legions of dogs appear with the most vicious invective and ad-hominem, and today the powers that be not only will work to remove you from any position of authority, but they are now floating criminal prosecution for questioning the “science”. Don’t even get me started on the personalities of the key actor “scientists” in this play, as bubbly as a palestinian on a day of rage. But after all this, the thing that pisses me off most and makes me grind my teeth, is even after 20 years, of daily investigation and research, I know, and understand, the science, the math, the people involved, I know every subject, controversy, and player intimately, I can never ever bring this up in a conversation with libs as they will immediately circle the wagons, and there is not a single bit of evidence that I can bring forth that will make a difference. I will be called a neanderthal, anti-science, religious nut (I don’t even believe in religion), and after being called names and ridiculed for trying to educate people about something I have decades of knowledge and understandinc about, I will be considered the bad guy.
Read u loud and clear re communicating on any level with Liberals. Living in the Austin area the past half century, I am forced to. In that vast experience with liberals, I have learned that THE ONLY communication method that works is just DON’T !!!!
One good example is one of my lawyers. He really is not a Liberal but his lawyer wife is and his two teenage daughters are so he is just to survive. But, despite being a Liberal he is a damn good lawyer and trustworthy. Finding a trustworthy lawyer is like winning the lottery. So, he keeps his opinions to himself and I do the same. It works.
