Even when there is simply no way out of being wrong, the alarmists mentality can always find a way to “feel” like they are right. Like the sea level rise problem. When you point out that sea level has been rising at the current rate for 150 years (or more), and that it has both fallen, and rose, in the recent past, you get the mumbo jumbo gigogallop.

See? Pointing out reality is to the warmist, a “strawman”, because “the costs of all those efforts” isn’t added. (What the fuck does that even mean?)

All the following quotes are mine.

It’s usually an effective tactic for simply stopping all rational discussion. Most people when faced with a gigogallup wisely abandon any attempt to continue, because nobody wants a massive wall of text, or the idiot tactic of copy-and paste-the-entire-post and add one line to it.

Seriously, it happens.

But I’m also aware that the Mods will make up some rule saying you can’t do that.

Priceless.
