I’ve upvoted your comment. It’s flawed logic, but I see it as highly counterproductive to downvote people who seem to be reasoning about a problem or discussing their perceptions in good faith.
So many revered scientists have made comments that today would sound jackass silly. I doubt anyone here doesn’t have such comments under their belt.
Thinking or asking alone can never be wrong. As long as it’s well intentioned and open to the possibility of accepting counter arguments.
- ThomPete 9y agoI upvoted your comment because we need more people like you who are able to disagree without turning the other person into a villain or idiot just because they disagree. Personally, I have become more skeptical of not climate change or even whether humans have an effect but of whether it's catastrophic and I have shifted my thinking quite a lot to accept that humans will not only have an effect on earths climate, we will conquer it and control it. That and not stopping the world, is the moral thing to do.
