To be fair, it does sound like he’s trying to fix the climate change issue.

> [@Walken\_After\_Midnight](#): > > it does sound like he’s trying to fix the climate change issue Well, if by “fix” you mean that he’s starting from an unassailable conclusion that there _is_ no climate crisis, and applying his latest inane hot take on science that he is far too stupid to understand in order to prove it. ---

Dunning-Kruger and micro-dosing is a hell of a combination. First, he says there’s no such thing as climate science, then he says that CO2 is positive to all aspects of life, so the more of it in the atmosphere the better, and now he says he’s going to develop his own model for working out the optimal amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. ---

Sam did a really good job of White-Knighting for the Badger in the Biden impeachment thread. I mean, he was even pretty obvious about it right from the get-go. Of course, he did his usual posting of crap, followed by “I’m a gonna give you more evidence after I have my dinner” as well as his “you find the evidence to prove my point, I"m too busy” bullshit, but that’s his go-to. ---

Argle Bargle you still have nothing but hot air and “everyone knows so I need no evidence “. Better hope Sam returns to help you out with some more advanced bafflegab. At least tell us “ something something laptop “.
