First, the reason searching "debunked" comes up with "not debunked" is because you are likely using google which has been proven to skew its results to conform with shitlib ideology. Google "white inventors", click on the images tab and look at how its all non-white inventors. This is why I use duckduckgo, whose search returns for 'global warming debunked' actually have articles that debunk global warming.

Second, it's not really about warming, it's about anthropogenic global warming. The climate may or may not be warming; it may or may not be caused by humans.

Humans have generally benefited when the earth was warmer, and suffered when it was colder. Compare the medieval warm period to the little ice age. So even if it is warming, good.

Even liberal scientists who are bought into AGW say that it would take massively drastic measures to decrease the level of warming by a few degrees. So why bother gutting the entire world's economy to slightly decrease something that would actually benefit most of humanity? Of course the reason is the real point of AGW, an excuse for a global government with massive control over the world's economy.

This is why there have been so many frauds committed to try to "prove" AGW, starting with the idiotic "97% of scientists agree!" which I've already debunked in another thread. The fact that this easily disproven claim is still touted by those in government and the media shows there is a greater agenda at work than simply "like, save the planet, man!"

It's also why there are so many calls for war against the nations that aren't already part of the globohomo conglomerate of nations, but that's a different story.

Your brain is flawed; did your mother drink a lot when she was pregnant with you? I've noticed that many of the symptoms of FAS are similar to the symptoms of liberalism. AGW is completely different from energy independence or cleaning up the environment in ways that actually matter. To equate smokestack scrubbers or eliminating lead from gasoline (probably 1 of the big reasons why boomers are so stupid) with fighting against cow farts to stop the planet from becoming MORE habitable is a sign of some deeper disorder than simply lacking facts.

As a senior individual in a private equity firm, and with a lot of experience in the energy space (and therefore having a lot of knowledge about how regulation relating to global warming affects both the energy industry as well as the markets and economies from state/local to national to international (spoiler alert: it's really not very negative at all)), it always makes me smile when some anti-global warming person tries to explain effects on economies and/or markets to me [You must be logged in to view images.

I think the downsides to people thinking it exists is because they're pushed to be against it by their news outlets that are usually run by people who have a reason to want policy against global warming to be hard to achieve.

It's kind of like believing in god. If you do and he's real, you win. If you do and he's not real, you didn't lose anything. If you don't and he's real, you lose. So just believe in him. I get it. Problem is kind of what people do when they change the world around their beliefs.

So, in this instance, people who have terrible carbon emissions would have to spend a lot of money changing their entire business models if they chose to live in the "god is real" world. So it doesn't really work for them to do that, there's a cost associated, it's not the same 1:1 argument about believing in god being a 100% net win.

They're basically gambling that everyone else in science is wrong so they can save a few bucks. Or they frankly simply just don't give a fuck about anyone in the world because they're billionaires and they don't have to, they'll be the last people impacted by global warming.

But frankly the reason is basically a lot of people inserted "global warming is fake" into social media against liberals. So you just like tack a belief onto conservatives and they all tribally go for it because "fuck liberals" and literally no other logic. And they say fuck liberals because they were basically conditioned to unquestionably just hate the other side through constant vilification in their bubble news outlets.

Yeah but you know that for every person that writes something here 20 others are reading it. And if you don't actually spell out what pascal's wager is then you can't just say "Pascal's wager" and expect the 20 silent people to understand what you mean or be bothered to go look it up.

Everyone needs to be on the same page. With my long words I'm scooping up the dumb dumbs onto our trolley and we can keep moving forward.
