Aristides

Too funny. I’m not capable of good stewardship? You aren’t interested in any stewardship. You palm off your responsibilities on your god.

So humans f*cking up the planet is God's will. That's a philosophy only a masochist could have.d If God intended us to be in his (its) image, he must be one unhappy camper. We aren't even capable of saving ourselves from ourselves. Let's keep rolling coal until the place incinerates itself. God's will.

Humans pumping billions of tons of carbon trapped in the earths crust for millions of years is not an act of God.

it is exactly how it is. Something written thousands of years ago absolves you of the obligation to think for yourself.

You say it is a complex subject but rely on something as simplistic as faith to explain it. That's just plain lazy. Rather than actually question, you write it off as an act of God. How convenient. Faith by definition is a belief in something that cannot be proved. Science is based on observation and measurements, it is continually being challenged, questioned and revised as new evidence is found. Faith on the other hand depends on never being questioned or challenged in order to survive.

Faith is not evidence. Measurements and data are.

Ah, so your personal experiences are more valid than what practising respirologists are finding in the real world. Why am I not surprised.

And some people just don't want to know anything. There is a lot more empirical evidence of man caused warming than there is for some sort of supreme being.s

NASA ignorant. Right, and you are an expert. https://www.britannica.com/science/ocean-acidification https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/acidification.html

People can identify however they want but women shouldn't have to compete against biological males in women's sport.

A strong NATO is the reason Europe has had the longest period of peace in its history. Until Putin attacked a non member of NATO, that is.

Temperature is the biggest thing that limits the amount of water the atmosphere can hold.

No, we can't control the climate but we can sure as hell screw it up. The evidence is quite clear. You believe in ignorance and use God as an excuse.

I know basic science which should be obvious to anyone. The problem isn't God, it's humans. You are the one who is denying basic science and pretending humans bear no responsibility. Stop blaming everything on God.

It's unfortunate basic high school science is beyond you. Yes, water vapour is a greenhouse gas but it continuously cycles and only remains in the atmosphere for days instead of accumulating for years or decades like other greenhouse gases like CO2, methane and nitrous oxide. You also don't seem to be able to make the connection between carbon and other GHG caused warming and the amount of water in the atmosphere. Most of the additional heat is being absorbed by the world's oceans. As they become warmer, evaporation rates increase and the warmer air is capable of absorbing that water increasing the amount of water vapour in the air. You say it is a complex thing and at the same time try to reduce it to fit your own simplistic views.

Wow, you are a freaking genius to know all that about a virus no one had ever seen before. Who needs scientists when we have you.

"People were saying" That's not a basis to plan anything. You didn't know shit back in 2020 so don't keep claiming you did.

Yes, everything you say about from 2020 is hindsight. The fact is, no one knew where we were headed at the time and health care professionals had to assume a worst case scenario. They should always assume a worst case scenario when dealing with something new and unknown.

Again, your exceptional 20/20 hindsight is awe inspiring

Of course every country the US trades with would reciprocate.

France rejoined NATO in 2009. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_190458.htm https://www.politico.eu/article/france-will-reach-nato-defense-spending-target-in-2024/

One thing is continually missed when this is debated. At the time there was a real worry that our hospitals would be overwhelmed and in some cases they actually were. Hospitals in the Los Angeles area were actually running out of things like oxygen. That wasn't a conspiracy it was the real world being faced by the world's health care systems. I'm continually amazed by WCM's 20/20 hindsight, the guy must be some kind of genius.

So all conservatives are conspiracy loons. All conservatives believe in your chemtrail nonsense. I don't think so. This isn't about politics, it's about reality. The problem with hyper partisans and conspiracy loons is they can't tell the difference.
