It's an interesting example of those who are being manipulated themselves projecting that very behavior onto those they want to discredit. This is something the Russian bot engineers have really mastered. And to be clear, the mastery isn't in the content used to do the manipulation (as seen here, it's not a very complex execution), but rather in finding ready targets for the misinformation. Their data collection (legal or otherwise) and analysis infrastructure is frightening. And our own government is now moving backward in this regard due to the current administration.
I've seen a bit of this in personal relations, though mainly at arms length - friend's wife that I don't have to deal with much, Aunt's husband who I don't have to interact with much, etc. Sucks that so many relatively decent people are so willing to be hoodwinked. Truly evil stuff on the part of the perpetrators.
I wonder what party they vote for. This sounds like a very hipster democrat thing to do, ride a bike everywhere.The Duff Man said:
Ah, yes. Of course climate change has obviously been caused by the children.The Duff Man said:
Brats. I knew it.

You know, if Trump wants that prize, there is actually a way for him to get it. I heard the Prime Minister of Pakistan this morning, and he was practically begging for Trump to mediate between him and the PM of India in order to achieve a peaceful solution to Kashmir. Not saying that Trump could pull this off, but he could try. Even now, even with the impeachment going on, it could have a positive effect. Nixon achieved an end to the Yom Kippur War AND a nuclear treaty with the Soviet Union during the height of Watergate.
I was not aware that Obama had a stroke and I have no idea why Trump would want one. It sounds horrible.-fish- said:
Vox is the lunatic left rag from the swamp. Stop terrorizing kids with climate alarmism conspiracy theories. That poor Greta looks abused and she’ll shocked!
yes because vox came up with that study on it's own and developed the conclusions...
no it isn't...there is science and reason and there are people who link youtube pages.
Your response has nothing to do with what I said. My comment was about the reprehensible statements thrown at this young lady and then the ancedotal responses and projecting such on to most and in some cases all Trump supporters.
I hope so because the climate change debate isn't a debate and shouldn't be treated as such....
I think there's a reasonable discussion to be had about politics on this topic, but it's difficult to have until people stop treating science as politics. Whether or not climate change is happening is not a political debate. What to do about it from a policy standpoint can be, but many people are quite frustrated that we can't even get to that discussion.
There are many that would disagree with you. Just cause you believe it, doesn't mean it's right. Its amazing to me that people take these positions.
No, it's not really like that at all.supermike80 said:
Its 100% exactly like that. I mean EXACTLY like that. Couldn't be even more so. A devout christian will tell you, period, that Jesus exists. And there is absolutely zero doubt. Zero.
You have exactly one ostensibly supporting premise in this post and it is almost meaningless to the discussion.
Not relevant to my point. The whole "I am right, and there is no debate about it" nonsense. Can't talk to people like that. Same as very religious folks. They spew this conversation ending gibberish and you move on to talking to someone who is reasonable about the subject.
More importantly, verifying the actual birth, life, and death of a person alleged to have lived almost 2000 years ago (much less his super powers) is significantly different from verifying the existence of climate change.
Except one is saying they are right based on science/facts and the other is saying they are right based on pure belief.
The fact that something is scientifically testable has a big impact on whether its debate is meaningful or meaningless.
Oh i know. I've commented my feelings concerning Greta already. I just have no time or tolerance for the "This is a fact and there is no debate about it" BS. That's all. It's annoying. To me. And hey, this is a board where we can spout our opinions
You're joking right? You don't think a religious person believes they have FACTS to support their beliefs?
Science deals with the natural world. Religion deals with the spiritual and supernatural.
