Ya see Flower, man made carbon pollutants are killing our planet. To combat this, we should spend 15 hours a day on the internet talking about it. We can only aspire to be as great as spokesperson as our hero Al Gore. One day if we’re lucky we can fly around the world in our personal jet, funded by the tax payers of course, to give speeches to the little people for hundreds of thousands of dollars a pop. We’ll hopefully be able to mass print millions of books espousing the evils of corporate greed. Then and only then can we sit in our multi million dollar mansions and high five each other over the change that we’ve brought upon our beloved planet. Now where the fuck is my latte??? ---

> [@bobot](#): > > Point to the doll where Al Gore touched you. You misunderstand me sir, I actually somewhat admire that man. He has single handedly made environmentalism a religion and has made millions out of the deal. If that isn’t the definition of capitalism then I don’t know what is. A little shady for my taste but brilliant nonetheless. The fact that his butler makes more than the vast majority of the downtrodden people in this country who look up to him is a sweet irony that I actually admire. Dude got skillz… ---

I keep hearing this “troll” shit but have I broken any rules here besides not agreeing 100% with everyone? Is holding a differing opinion a bannable offense here? Last I checked I haven’t even personally attacked anyone on this board even after dealing with my fair share of personal attacks. Calling someone a troll simply because you lack anything constructive to say seems pretty weak to me. It kinda seems like I’m being trolled… ---

> [@canned\_mayhem](#): > > Calling someone a troll simply because you lack anything constructive to say seems pretty weak to me. It kinda seems like I’m being trolled… Maybe you missed the threads where the dreck you’re peddling and more has been thoroughly debunked multiple times? You bring nothing new to the table, just repeating stale talking points. The debate occurred and your side lost. To continue to act like that’s not true is intellectually dishonest. Hence, troll. ---

Common objections like 'global warming is caused by the sun', 'temperature has changed naturally in the past' or 'other planets are warming too' are examined to see what the science... It is just that the denialosphere you look at has not bothered to tell you the truth and in the end it is really amusing to find yet another low information feeder that will not complain ever against the ones that pulled his leg, nor it will find any trouble by continuing to listen to sources that will continue to lie to him. ---

And I noticed El\_Kabong responding to the low feeder of information: > [@El\_Kabong](#): > > You seem to spend an inordinate amount of time laughing to yourself. > > Also, we’re supposed to have already answered questions in some bogus link that you posted, before you ever posted it? How’s that work, exactly? Well, it actually did happen, the video explanation i linked early from Peter Hadfield even answered the first question, and many others too, from the townhall idiots. Of course the evidence is piling up that **canned mayhem** is glad to show off all the ignorance he has and he is glad to demonstrate to all that he is not paying any attention before posting. ---
