> [@Blake](#): > > You don’t understand why people get passionate because you clearly don’t understand anything more complex than Saturday morning cartoons. Ah, global warming, it’s so many things to so many people, and so ripe for an internet bash fest, everyone all beating each other about the head and shoulders with blunt objects. Or trying to slip a knife in, depends on the emotional fervor one can summon up. > [@Blake](#): > > Fucking overgrown kids. No matter what,\*\* that summed up some important shit\*\*. First world problem kids crying about how we have to save the world, meaning everybody else has to do something. Not them of course, they need those fucking fossil fuels to spread the world. To serve up the Kool Aid to the faithful. > [@armedmonkey](#): > > I’ve never understood why climate change invokes such passion. I’m not sure I believe you. It’s not the climate, much less the changes that arouses the passion. > [@So who can answer Jerry Pournelle's questions about Global Warming?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-who-can-answer-jerry-pournelles-questions-about-global-warming/556876/10): > > We can do the above all day.

Of course there are multiple other reasons aside from the CO2 levels. The manic circle jerk that **only** wants to do something about CO2, and ignores the rest, it’s actually part of the problem. Not that one can assign blame for the human condition. > [@So who can answer Jerry Pournelle's questions about Global Warming?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-who-can-answer-jerry-pournelles-questions-about-global-warming/556876/20): > > There are no empirical facts to support climate change. It’s a hypothesis that may or may not be true based on computer models that cannot possibly contain all the variables. The only technical solution being pursued is the reduction of carbon dioxide and not technology aimed at lowering atmospheric temperatures. Umm, actually there isn’t single thing being done to actually reduce CO2 production by human beings. All proposals are aimed at reducing the rise in the amount of increase each year. Nobody is stupid enough to actually plan, much less try to implement, any sort of reduction. It’s why none of the strident experts proclaiming doom have stopped using fossil fuels, or even reduced their carbon footprint. Much less set up a single home or business that doesn’t use carbon fuels. If the prophets of doom were actually DOING something that stopped their fossil fuel use, we would see THAT on Youtube, instead of increasingly desperate attempts to convince us the world is doomed if we don’t stop burning fuels. > [@YogSosoth](#): > > So you’re basing your objection to a site because its glossary is not up to your standards No you fuckhead, I call it pseudo-science for may reasons. That they can’t even fucking define their terms, ones the entire site is based on, is fucking ludicrous. (talking about [skepticalscience.com](http://skepticalscience.com)) > [@sylmar](#): > > But continuing to disagree with 95% of the scientific community No you half baked excuse for an intellectual, if I point out that what the models predicted didn’t fucking happen, and in fact the opposite is happening, it means I’m smart enough to fucking well know when a prediction based on a model based on some assumptions based on a hypothesis turned out to be wrong. Noting something like that does not fucking mean a wholesale rejection of all science, you fucking moronic fuckhead. > [@I hereby pit the gang of hypocritical deniers "debating" GIGObuster](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-hereby-pit-the-gang-of-hypocritical-deniers-debating-gigobuster/595281/507): > > The emotional, self righteous rhetoric, the personal insults, the illogical and constant moving of whatever it is, it’s hard to tell, it’s like trying to make sense of a religion.
