So, then as long as someone is concerned about the environment, we should believe anything they say and not question it at all?
If you are concerned about the environment, you would not wish to see it poisoned. The degree of poisoning is irrelevant.
If you care about your children, would it be OK for someone to poison them, just a little? Would it be OK to keep on poisoning them as long as the poison doesn't kill them?

There are REAL problems we should be focusing on if you really care about the environment, but global warming isn't one of them.
How do you know this ... because some video says so? Don't you realize that big corporation make videos just like this one as propaganda. And they have been doing it for years.

To say that any dissenting opinion should be ignored because there's so many other problems is what is insane to me.
What I'm saying that that the dissenting opinions are irrelevant. No one is trying to even pretend that we are not poisoning our environment. Not even the paid liars and propagandists will try to float that lie. And it's the fact that we are poisoning our own one and only life-sustaining environment that is the issue. How much poison it can take and still sustain us in an insane question. It's as insane as saying that it's OK to poison your children as long as we don't kill them.
Don't you realize that what we do to the environment we are doing to our children? Don't you understand that if we poison it today, it will poison them tomorrow? They can't live without it, and if they live within it, they will be effected by it, and by what we are doing to it.

You're not understanding me. The issue here is global warming, and my position is that I don't believe that human carbon emissions are poisoning the planet, and I don't believe that the world is going to come to an end if we don't squash industry.
Should the lives of billions of human beings be gambled on what you and a few corporate-sponsored scientists and video-makers believe? Do you have the right to gamble the lives of your children's children like that?

From where I sit, you're the one who sounds irrational. You're not even talking about global warming.
I'm not talking about global warming because it's just one symptom among hundreds of the negative effects of human beings exploiting and destroying their only source of life.
MaddLlama said:
How about we stick to the topic and not water pollution or deforestation or any of the other non-global warming issues of the environment?
Yeah, wouldn't that be convenient. Just like putting blinders on a horse, so he can only see what we want him to see, and go where we want him to go.
