Perhaps instead of trying to "search engine yourself right," you instead just search the actual topic. Then objectively read a variety of articles to fully educate yourself on the topic. I've read plenty of "debunk climate change" articles trying to understand the other side, and I haven't found them persuasive. I consider the source, amount of scientists in agreement on that viewpoint, and whether the funding of said source is politically/financially motivated. If I only looked up "global warming debunked," I'd know nothing else beyond what I was spoonfed from those specific brand of sources.
I've done the research, my suggestion to do a search was for people who disagree w/ me so I assumed they'd already read articles from that point of view.

I made no economic analyses. I mentioned that liberal scientists themselves have said that in order to slow down (not stop) global warming we'd need to decrease CO2 output to such an extent it would cripple the world's economies. What we do now to decrease CO2 is mostly cosmetic.

Furthermore, if countries like India, Russia, and China do not sign on they will simply use the fossil fuels that we do not, and in a way that is less efficient/ more polluting. They will never sign on to such a silly agreement as they have not drank the koolaid. Even in Western nations it is doubtful much of a decrease in living standards could be born w/o massive social problems.

Yeah we had 300 pop or so for a while during the "epics for all" promotional event to join the guild.

It was a great community service we provided for people who simply could not get their mage, SK etc epic on blue.

A far better service than you provide to the community, that being butter brained outrage jester.

Teppler/Polycaster won't rest until every last liberal scientist has been purged and sent to the camps.

You wanna apologize about being wrong about red pops? Or me contacting staff about RNF threads?

I'd accept the apology and extend you a guild invite to actually play on the server ur trolling. Honest.

Did you just call the Jerm a SJW? haha Get outta here.

And to clear up any confusion;

The Holocaust: A historical event, also known as the Shoah, was the World War II genocide of the European Jews.

holocaust: A noun referring to destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war. Also, refers to a defunct guild on the Project1999 Red server.

These are two separate things. Just because you can't figure out how the English language works, doesn't mean others shouldn't be able to use it properly.
