Doing your own research also means being open to the possibility that your hypothesis is incorrect.

    Your first link was about sulfur emissions, not CO2. They do not claim that CO2 isn’t warming the Earth.

    Your second link is about something that happened before we knew viruses existed.

    Be better.

    Edit: Isn’t, not is.

      The hyperfocus on co2 emissions detracts from the discussion around local emissions that have a direct effect on the majority of people.

      Germ theory has existed since at least the 1500s.

      The argument that you should “trust science” falls flat when science is constantly in flux.

      Many scientists base their knowledge on preconceived notions of truth. Never trust someone who is 100% sure of something and don’t discount someone just because they aren’t a full blown expert.

        I didn’t say “trust science.” That is a nonsensical term. Please do not put words in my mouth.

        Also, being 100% sure of something is absolutely not scientific. I think the real issue here is that you don’t understand basic concepts like the scientific method.

        Also, it is super dishonest to call Fracastoro’s 15th century seed idea “germ theory.”

          You’re just being dismissive and arrogant, like I’m saying. Academia is nothing more than a gatekeeping cult. You’re under the childish assumption that there is “good” and “bad” when those terms are subjective.

            Got it. Trust memes on Facebook over scientists.
