Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Oddball]

For example, the "empty planes" bit you just conjured out of thin-air despite me not ever bringing it up, nor caring about it, given our discussion was about the hockey stick graph. Yet you continue to hammer on about it, here, here here, here, here, here, here, and here (while puzzlingly claiming it isn't your "ace in the hole" argument). Even the logic of your sad obsession doesn't make sense: climate change is made up because airline companies need to fly empty planes back and forth to preserve their routes?? This is the type of logic I would expect of someone who can barely write coherent sentences.

i have continued to go on about empty planes because you`ve never given an answer to it other than "i don`t care" - a very uncool answer coming from a "scientist"

Are you also against train and bus services that run but are under utilized? Please, my fault, I shouldn't have bothered.

I dont know what you want, and I'm very happy continuing that. ciao.

Reeks of desperation in here. Cringe-inducing.

As another example, you claimed I was "whinging" about "zero emissions." But a simple search would reveal that I never once have brought up "zero emissions" on this thread or indeed the entire forum. So again you had an imaginary conversation with yourself while waiting for your parole officer to finish lunch, and you thought about this so much, it became reified in your mind to the point where you claim I was whinging about it. But you didn't check this because evidence is inconvenient to you.

my slip, i don`t stalk the forum like some members looking to trip people up - substitute whinging about "emissions" to whinging about "Global Heating"

Yeah but we love a good meltdown and this one is ripe.

i know its good sport to join in the Torch-lit parade Rita but please post more thoughtfully

to equate buses or trains with planes flying empty is embarrassing

and don`t mention automobiles either

this thread is `last film you watched`- as in past tense

not what are you watching now. - which is present tense

try to stay on topic

#sigh.

empty transport is empty transport. emissions is emissions. My mistake, again. Silly me.

Imagine the stress of @oddwall accidentally gets speedy boarding on an easyJet flight.

ITS AN EMPTY PLANE HELP ITS EMPTY

More generally, as I've mentioned several times, you don't understand how science works, as you claim that "science is never settled" thereby implying consensus can't be achieved. This is simply false, as I pointed out to you using examples regarding gravity, evolution, and other settled issues where scientific consensus is achieved. So you are simply wrong.

stating "science isn`t settled" doesn`t mean "consensus can`t be achieved" because in simple terms it obviously can be achieved - "water is wet" bingo!

modern science (your field) is in its infancy- you don`t even know how or why the Pyramids were built

any "discoveries" by modern science are first used commercially

I find it funny that you claim to be suspicious of MSM and make claims about thinking independently and doing your own research. This is ironic in light of you posting youtube videos discussing or featuring some of the most predictably right-wing ideologues, such as reaction videos involving noted homophobe/misogynist Jesse Lee Peterson, or the eminently milquetoast and predictable Larry Elder. But I guess when you have trouble writing coherent sentences it's best to let videos do the talking for you, even though this undercuts the image of yourself being an independent thinker.

Jesse Lee Peterson trolls numbskulls and is quite amusing. Larry Elder is ok, i posted his video for the content, not specifically for him.
i could`ve posted videos of Thomas Sowell or any number of other independent observers but none were at hand.

you think i only "claim" to mistrust the MSM?
the cover up regarding the Saville and Epstein cases and the heinous way the press dealt with Millie Dowler before she was found murdered. all unforgiveable.

whatever i post, an ideologue like you is going to criticise. haters gonna hate.

yep- they`re desperate all right...........they backed a loser. the guy told them he was a scientist but really he sells fly-swats door to door

i think they`ll double down though, it`s the usual way they work.

I feel like I’m learning a new language reading this thread.
