No, not one in a thousand environmentalists believes that. You know, flat-out lies may work with the sort of people you identify with, but not people who know the truth.
- njarboe 9y ago"people you identify with" Not sure where you got that idea when I said CO2 is a problem. I guess this topic is too charged with emotion to discus reasonably.
- woodandsteel 9y agoOk, you're right, I shouldn't have said that you identify with that crowd. But I am still saying that the claim that any significant proportion of environmentalists think the human race is evil and should all be killed is simply false. Do you want to defend it?
- njarboe 9y agoI should stop but: "I think many people join the "climate change denial" crowd too push back against the "humans are evil and should go extinct, the quicker the better" environmentalist crowd." Not completely obvious from this statement, but what I meant to convey was that the people who are committed and serious about "climate change denial" are people who believe many/most environmentalists are in the "humans are evil and should go extinct, the quicker the better" crowd. Not really sure about that, as I don't know any committed deniers well enough to have an honest conversation, but it doesn't seem unlikely.
- woodandsteel 9y agoOk, so we are in agreement on that. Hey, I started out being strongly critical, and now we agree. Rational discourse does work, at least some of the time.
- njarboe 9y agoThanks, a rarity on the internet these days.
