Come on, stop being disingenuous.

The quote you posted bereft of greater context (Which you've now tried to provide. Well done!) could deceive a number of people. It's both potentially deceptive and, in those instances where it deceives someone, deceptive. The linguistic implications alone are... tremendously boring, to be honest.
> It sounds like you are uncomfortable with the conclusion, rather than the summary of that conclusion.
How utterly bizarre that you think so.
- kbutler 8y agoI'm really confused. The face-value perception of the quotes I posted ("'methane time bomb’...is one thing we don't have to worry about" with the link for context) is the actual, correct meaning of the quote and conclusion from the climate scientists. With the face value matching the deeper conclusion, where is the deception?
