How are you alive today in 2024 and are not aware that there are essentially no people who study the climate for a living who think that the Earth isn't warming and humans are not the cause?

Or is this one of those "I'm not going to listen to any dumb scienticificians when I have Jesus" arguments?

You are the only dogmatic one here

I just posed a question, worth thinking about, and you answered with a dogma, which I am not allowed to dispute.

I am not a denier, but I despise you climate Talibans like any other religious fanatic

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

which I am not allowed to dispute.

Who is not allowing you? I don't see any comments deleted. You don't appear to be banned.

you climate Talibans

Please explain exactly how I equate with the Taliban. Details, please.

Well reread what I wrote and what you wrote, I think it's pretty obvious

From saying "if it was shrinking before it might not be related too human activities" you went full "how are you alive in 2024..." And answered as if I was denying the god revealed truth

That's a Taliban mentality at work, you don't discuss the truth

If you can't see it, I can't show it to you

BTW do you have the power to ban me? If you don't then, what are you discussing about silencing and banning?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Again: You said you were not allowed to dispute it. Who is not allowing you?

[–] gimsy@feddit.it -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you see the number of down votes, for pointing out something that is worth keeping into account, I'd say that is what is "not allowing"

I concede that maybe it's just my impression

You’re perfectly allowed to, you just look stupid.

"But muh free speech!!1!"

More people really need to see that xkcd.

i love that you think you posed a question you think no climatologist has thought about before.

"yeah we've been studying this for decades and the climate is definitely warming and the CO2 levels are rising..."

"well, could it be just a regular thing?"

all scientists start looking at each other confused

"uh... we didn't check..."

congratulations on being the first to ask questions.

[–] gimsy@feddit.it 1 points 5 months ago

anyhow do you know the answer? Because I'd have a ton of questions, since the argument is complex and I don't like the hand-wavy argument "well he expert say so"

Experts, scientists, luminaries in their field were prescribing lobotomies to mentally ills and castrations to gay people less than 100 years ago, so yes please always listen to the experts, but keep doubting their answers

All climatologist on this thread, please raise your hand
