    Imagine how great the world could be if the worst people didn’t have all the money and power or even if we all just collectively decided to stop playing their game

    I really hate when people call them “skeptics.”

    Skepticism is a questioning attitude or doubt toward knowledge claims that are seen as mere belief or dogma.

    They’re the dogmatic ones; there are multiple converging lines of evidence showing that man-made climate change is a real danger; to deny that is not skeptical, it’s delusional. It’s motivated reasoning. It’s believing a lie because the billionaire propaganda machine told you to believe it.

      Not only billionaires. Scientists claim this is just a phase of the earth that has taken place many times in the past. Scientists are saying it, but are being drowned out or silenced. So there’s people saying this and people saying that, and it’s impossible for any one person to trust the words of anybody else in this very complex and complicated matter, with many, many stakeholders.

        Scientists claim this is just a phase of the earth that has taken place many times in the past.

        1. When it happened before, everything died off
        2. This is the first one caused by its inhabitants
        3. Climate science intends to prevent both of those.

        So the scientists who claim so aren’t being genuine, not being truthful, and they’ve moved the goalposts. And probably are real dicks at parties.

        Other than that, bang-on.

    Why didn’t they use a more flattering picture of her?
