The science is brain dead.

Go try and have a garden I’m gonna throw trash and oil and shit from 62 different animals and we’ll see how your garden goes

Multiply it by more. Now also consider that trees absorb sunlight and we’re putting too much pavement down.

It’s fuckin brain dead

He admitted he didn’t understand the science.

Neither do I. You know what we should do when we don’t understand the science?

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO DO!

It’s like who do you trust to fix your car:

Your mechanic who you know has worked on cars before they could drive one, is passionate about cars, and has already gotten several shit boxes to run more reliably than a factory fresh Toyota.

Or this random spice head with a foil hat who just rolled up started kicking your tires and saying your car won’t run because of a Jewish parts conspiracy.

The science is actually pretty straightforward, I taught it to my nephew because it’s a great way to understand thermodynamics, conservation of energy and a few other fundamentals.

I’m not talking about crunching numbers to calculate the total CO2 equivalent in the air or to model an ice shelf or to quantify the AMOC or something, but the fundamental issue and why it happens is easy enough to understand for the layman.

There’s a great video of Carl Sagan addressing congress(?) about climate change where he explains it concisely, if you’re interested.

Did you put into proportion the amount of damage your nephew does compared to, say, Exxon?

That science is also easily understood, but corporate responsibility is for PR only.

Gibson is correct. The fearmongers target the individual, not the root cause.

You don’t even have to investigate the science or anything. Just use your own brain and eyeballs.

I was looking at old family photos of when I was a child, under 10. It was snowing on Christmas Day. On multiple christmases.

I can’t even remember a time in the last 2 to 3 decades it’s snowed correctly in winter let alone December and bang on Christmas. Sometimes it snows in may.

Also when we keep getting record setting heatwaves in summer… hello?

The cult of do your own research managing to not do their own research in the slightest.

Just use your own brain and eyeballs.

We’re going to need something a bit more robust than that I’m afraid. People who fall for conspiracy after conspiracy are using their own brain and eyeballs. Even schizophrenics use their own brain and eyeballs.

If someone’s childhood photos show snow-free Christmases, is that enough for them to declare climate change a hoax?

People need to understand the scientific method better. What a hypothesis is, the importance of falsifiability. There is no truth in the universe, you can’t determine what is true and what is false by looking inside yourself, or by trusting your gut. There is no truth. That is the universe we live in.

What I meant was people don’t even have to “believe” that science is a thing and climate change is a possibility or not. It just is.

By remembering back before there was multiple fires and storms per year.

I mean there is no scientific evidence of the existence of any God, it just doesn’t exist, and yet here we are.

I’m not trying to argue seriously here, just pointing out that you sure have a lot of faith in humanity when there is no evidence to show it is a species worth saving

Well Mel probably thinks it’s a Jewish conspiracy that his house burnt down or something. One too many shrimps on the barbie, eh?

Don’t try to pin this on us. He wasn’t a crazy racist until he moved to the US of A.

Isn’t his father a way more mask-off racist and antisemite?

No idea, tbh. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was, though.

This is thing about these idiot podcasters … they are our modern day snake oil salesmen and religious evangelists on a soap box in the town square. They know how to talk, how to manage a crowd and how to direct, misdirect or massage people’s modes. They have no affiliations other than making money or separating the masses from their money. They’re salesmen that will say anything to keep your attention because it’s your attention that makes them money.
