Environment & Energy

That said...

If one wants to dispute the scientific consensus on global warming with "Yeah I don't buy that stuff...just cause..." and one also includes anti-science references to further dispute the scientific consensus, that doesn't belong in this group. It's not the basis for scientific discussion, it's not the basis for environmental issue discussion.

If scientific consensus is that climate change is occurring, that it needs to be dealt with and that humans are substantial contributors, saying "I don't buy it" is not even worth discussing.

Because there's nothing to discuss. No amount of science will convince you because there's more science behind climate change consensus than almost anything you ALREADY BELIEVE.

So talk about it elsewhere. It doesn't belong here because it's not an environmental discussion, instead it's a discussion of your own psychology.

This group is not here to figure out how to convince people that climate change is real who refuse to accept that on the basis of scientific reasoning. If you have to be convinced with some other type of evidence, then that discussion belongs in the group where such types of discussion and such types of evidence (if you can call them that) are appropriate (creative speculation maybe?).

but not here.
