It's a lie that you don't care. You would not have jabbed another barb at the issue of climate
change if you didn't care. Of course, that barb was, again, fraught with a fraudulent understanding
of climate change, despite repeatedly being told that 'global warming' is a misrepresentation of
the entire picture, and despite being unwilling to admit to any ...[text shortened]... t humankind could generate that would have
a noticeable effect on the climate?

with periods of extraordinary warmth, as well as global cooling with periods of extraordinary cold.
No scientist denies this history. I mean, do you deny that the Ice Age happened? C'mon.
The issue is not whether it happens -- it does! -- but whether we are contributing to it by virtue
of our carbon emissions. And so, I return to you: do you think that there is any amount of
emissions that could perhaps influence this natural cycle?

Originally posted by NemesioI've contended all along that global warming occurs every year. We used to call this phenomenon "summer." However, when I say "myth," you know perfectly well that I mean the anthropogenic yarn being spun by Al Gore and his acolytes. As to your other point, it's all hypothetical, isn't it? You might as well be asking: How many angels can dance on the head of a pin or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop? To quote the commercial, the world may never know.

amount of CO2 is currently being produced is not having an effect. That is,
you are a moving target: by not admitting the possibility that a certain,
even very vast amount of carbon emissions would have an effect on climate,
you can criticize people holding even the most moderate views about
pollution.
All you're doing is creating a fortress resting on sand, for you have no
stance of your own on the issue.
I'm not even asking you to say what that amount is (because it's clear
you don't have a scientific bone in your body), just a concession that
an enormous amount would conceivably have an effect on the natural
ebb and flow that the climate engages in.
