Called it way above in the comments didn’t I? I must have ESPN or something.
So just so we’re clear; if there’s published scientific data around it: it’s a conspiracy of scientific censorship because of the “climate narrative”, but if it’s unproven opinion narrative that works for the oil companies profits that happen to be huge public policy lobbying forces; it’s definitely the truth. Because obscure scary reasons, “not many people know this” Got it.
This is the least satisfying “conversation” I think I’ve ever had on Lemmy. Usually, I’ve found SOME common ground or an ability to prove a point but this has been supremely frustrating and honestly frightening.
No wonder humanity is having trouble with climate change; this is what we’re up against: A complete disability to think critically.
Sigh. Now I remember why I do not take part in these discussions back on Reddit. Lots of inmature tribalism. Believe in whatever you want since whatever I present is never going to be considered valid.
Feelings mutual. You’re choosing to ignore all the data people are presenting you with cited information and then calling it invalid or a conspiracy of censorship. If you wanted to see people’s opinions sway, show the data. Nobody here is commenting about the morality of the issue or in a way that couldn’t be swayed.
