joeblow9999··on Climate talks break up with no agreement on carbon trading
>This type of attitude is a huge problem for people advocating for changes to be made due to climate change. You're asking for a lot of people's lives to become more difficult, but when they question or disagree on almost any point they are labelled evil and stupid.

joeblow9999··on The World Has Gone Mad and the System Is Broken
"no mention at all of the prospect of global civilizational collapse due to climate change"

thats because no one not even the most vociferous climate demagogues make this claim. not even the most pessimistic IPCC projections predict 'global civilizational collapse'

you can be concerned about global warming without buying into religious eschatology. and it turns off otherwise skeptical but possibly sympathetic allies when you do.
