Pvnick your opinion doesn't fall in line with evangelical progressivism, so downvoting rather than engaging you directly is in order. Don't you know that politicians always and everywhere make things better, and that billions of individual actors competing and testing various ideas simultaneously is doomed to fail. Also, make sure to ignore competing voices. Science isn't about skepticism, it's who has more people on their side. To quote Einstein upon finding out that there was a book titled 100 Authors against Einstein "If I were wrong, then one [author] would have been enough!". Clearly he was an idiot. Also, ignore those who disagree with our world view like the ones listed below. They're literally Hitler. > Tom Woods Interview with Patrick Moore: http://tomwoods.com/ep-559-greenpeace-co-founder-repudiates-organization/ http://tomwoods.com/ep-559-greenpeace-co-founder-repudiates-... > The 97% consensus: http://daviddfriedman.blogspot.ca/2014/02/a-climate-falsehood-you-can-check-for.html http://daviddfriedman.blogspot.ca/2014/02/a-climate-falsehoo... > The Non-Expert Problem and Climate Change Science http://blog.dilbert.com/post/154082416051/the-non-expert-problem-and-climate-change-science http://blog.dilbert.com/post/154082416051/the-non-expert-pro...

Hello boona, thanks for the lies in the links you provided, it is always entertaining to read bullshit rethoric. Also the appeal to a strawman like (quote) "evangelical progressivism" is a nice touch. On a serious note, none of the people behind the links you provide have done any serious research or climate modelling, have they? So, if you are legitimately deluded and ready to change your mind, then I recommend http://www.realclimate.org http://www.realclimate.org If you are a shill, let me ask you to consider that you may be exposed one day.

  I'm totally with you. Dr. Patrick Moore is a quack. I mean ya people will argue that he co-founded Greenpeace, has PhD in Ecology and a B.Sc. Forest Biology, but he believes that changes in solar activity that has a much better correlation than CO2 levels, but the sun is so far away am I right? Here's another interview where he elaborates on his quackery, and a link to a science denial website. > Steven Crowder Interviews Patrick Moore - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDK1aCqqZkQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDK1aCqqZkQ > Climate Skeptic http://www.climate-skeptic.com/ http://www.climate-skeptic.com/ I agree with you, these crazies are legitimately deluded and a bunch of shills for questioning the data and it's conclusions. I mean sure the government has poured money into this industry and demanded a certain result, but government already knows what the right results are, who are they to question them.

    You've been using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. That's an abuse of the site, and we ban accounts that do it, so please stop.

      It's deeply unfortunate because there is quite a bit politically related content that appears on this site, and it's often links to ideologically driven articles, and people discuss those topics without reprisal. > "You've been using HN primarily for political and ideological battle." The issue I take with that statement is that I don't use this site for an ideological battle, I use it as a means to voice my opinions and discuss topics. Where the "battle" comes in, is that my views are at odds with large parts of the community. I don't hate Donald Trump, I'm skeptical of catastrophic anthropomorphic climate change, I'm reluctant to hand over control of the internet to politicians i.e. net neutrality, just to name a few. This puts me at odds with left-wing coastal culture, which this site seems primarily made up of. That means that I will get into debates more than the average person, and I will be down voted because people disagree with me. But what's the point of having a comments section at all if we don't want to be exposed to different ideas? I would think that of all places news.ycombinator would welcome different perspectives and the challenging of ones beliefs. > That's an abuse of the site, and we ban accounts that do it, so please stop. I would ask that you stop targeting individual who have a differing opinion from that of your own. If there's any abuse, it's the bullying and intolerance I've been receiving from you, so please stop and allow members to discuss in peace.
