So what you're saying is "I do not know of any evidence showing a conclusive link between co2 emissions from human activity and rising temperatures?" What would change your mind? If the answer is "evidence," then exactly what kind of evidence would be required?

When I read aazaa say > What I find inexcusable is climate activists who assume that people who are skeptical of the link between human activity and climate change are idiots. Those claiming the link have the burden of proof, and they've done a pitiful job of presenting the actual evidence. I think thats the actual complaint. Consider the essay The Categories Were Made for the Man[1] written by psychiatrist Scott Alexander about the phenomenon of gender dysphoria and whether we should use people’s preferred pronouns. The essay includes this paragraph about the opposing position: > I take this argument seriously, because sticking to the truth really is important. But having taken it seriously, I think it’s seriously wrong. This attitude seems to be what aazaa is seeking: one which takes seriously its burden to pursuade.
