“Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” ― Anonymous Greek Proverb
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people. We’ll probably elect him again.

Those people can’t be dissuaded by facts and evidence and aren’t worth the effort.
Actually we passed laws that limited the amount of CFCs we released. This has allowed the ozone layer, over the polar
Regions to slowly “regrow”.
The fact that intervention worked isn’t evidence that the problem didn’t exist.
There has always been fluctuations climate. Greenhouse gasses have always played a significant role in those events.

28.01.2025 15:01 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Again, you refuse to even discuss the matter unless I can tell you the exact number of weather balloon and their precise location at every moment. It’s an internationally absurd standard intended to avoid discussion about the facts.
28.01.2025 15:00 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Basically he seems to be saying that we cannot measure anything. He’s presenting an impossible standard. By his logic, we can’t even say that the temperature of the sun is greater than the temperature of earth.
28.01.2025 14:16 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This discussion is stupid. Honestly just stupid. Sounds like you believe what you want to believe. The notion that your opinion could be changed if I provided you with the exact number and location of every weather balloon is obviously silly.
28.01.2025 01:07 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0So? You can take the temperature of locations on the earth. What if 70% of the locations show steady warming, 20% show no change and 10% show cooling (just making up percentages for this discussion). You think that information is irrelevant?
28.01.2025 01:04 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0So nearly 1800 is too vague? You need an exact number?
28.01.2025 01:02 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The fact that it’s an extrapolation doesn’t make it invalid. Additionally it confirms ground readings.

Which is hotter, the sun or the Earth? How do you know?
One of us doesn’t know what we’re talking about; we disagree about which one of us that person is.
