Are you trying to convince me or yourself?
- eesmith 7y agoI'm convinced that we are bombarded by shit by news sources. We're also bombarded by non-shit. I'm trying to point out that "shit bombardment" might be appropriate, if everything is going to shit. Do you think there is substantial global warming caused by humans? Do you think it's serious enough that we need to take drastic measures to reduce CO2 emissions? Do you think the evidence was strong enough in the 1980s that they were right to be concerned about the future? Do you think their claims - bearing in mind the range of the predictions as in the 1989 document I found - been shown to be substantially correct? You haven't committed either which way, only to say that you've been bombarded by shit by the news. The 1989 article you pointed to, however, doesn't seem like shit. Why do you think it is?
