You really should go over and read this rant by Warmist James Murray in a post entitled “How to argue with “climate sceptics–, which he has been “procrastinating” on writing.
But worse than all of that, is the sheer boredom. Almost every discussion between environmentalists and climate sceptics follows a remarkably predictable and circuitous path that proceeds in ever decreasing circles until someone (usually me) gets bored and walks away.
Usually they walk away because they don’t have scientific evidence on their side, just hearsay and alarmism. He also calls for “polite engagement”, then refers to Climate Realists as “climate reckless” and “pollutocrats”. Anyway, here are the 3 questions
The first is the environmental campaigner George Monbiot’s killer question, what would it take to convince you that you are wrong?
The next question is, what happens if you are wrong?
Finally, and this is the most important question for businesses to ask of climate sceptics, what makes you hate the future so much?
Let’s see:
- Honest scientific proof, including raw data and “smoothing” methodology from the “climate” researchers, that proves without a shadow of a doubt that this warm period is mostly or solely due to Mankind’s output of greenhouse gases. Oh, and Warmists practicing what they preach, which would show that they actually believe their own mule fritters, would help. Furthermore, being able to predict what will happen over the next few years with the climate with at least 80% accuracy, since pretty much all your predictions based on computer models have failed time and time again, hence the Warmist use of “50-100 years”.
- Nothing that hasn’t happened time and time again. What happens if you’re wrong, and we spend oodles of money, moving it from the private sector to the public sector for redistribution, all while restricting the freedoms of individuals?
- “When did you stop beating your wife?” A BS question for a BS issue. When will Warmists stop agitating and spreading awareness and themselves embrace the “carbon neutral” lifestyle, virtually giving up all trappings of modern life?
