Explain specifically what the scandal was. It wasn’t people falsifying data, as the dipshits in the denialist camp would have you believe. Specifically spell out what you think the climategate scandal was. Specifically spell out the exact conspiracy and how it in broad terms shows whatever you think it shows. ---

Because it’s not something science can ever settle. You mocked the idea that “climategate” wasn’t a real scandal. Now, when asked about it, you run away. You’re not an honest person, FX.

If somebody believes climategate wasn’t anything, that it means little, or nothing, then there is absolutely nothing that will convince them otherwise. If you didn’t actually read the emails, and look at the coders comments, then you are ignorant in the matter, and nothing will sway you. If you did read it all, and still think it means nothing, then you are as dumb as it is possible to be. ---

> [@FXMastermind](#): > > At the risk of repeating myself. Seriously, you are. Can you please explain what you think “Climategate” is? You seem to think it’s a real scandal, but when pressed, you run away. How do you have so much invested in your beliefs that challenging them scares you so much? ---

Tell you what, let’s assume for the sake of argument that you’re right, that I’m a dumb poopy baby who doesn’t know not to eat lead chips. Also I have a bystander in my room and I’m sitting on his face and farting on it. Don’t try to convince ME that I’m dumb, convince HIM that I’m dumb. It shouldn’t be hard, I’ve eaten a lot of beans and cheese these past few days. Hypothetically. So tell this poor farted-on bastard what’s so terrible about Climategate. ---

Nobody can actually be that ignorant. It’s just not possible. Read a letter from a smart person, who talks about the scandal. > **[ItemFix - Social Video Factory](https://www.itemfix.com/?r=ll)** > > Social Video Factory And yes, the climategate deniers will tell you his opinion is poopy, cause he doesn’t agree with them. ---

With his face under a butt my captive… 'scuse me a second. Ahhh. Yeah, my captive can’t click any links right now. Try explaining to him, yourself, in your own words maybe.
