While it's certainly true that there are some people on the Internet who both agree with the overwhelming scientific consensus on global warming and make bad arguments,
a) that does not imply that the position those arguments defend is incorrect, and
b) for the science denialists, bad arguments are all they have.
- AlbertCory 5y agoLet me rephrase that for you: "My tribe is correct. It's the other one that's bad."
- danaris 5y ago"Both sides are just being tribal, there's no real right answer" is one of the more common methods used to dismiss the very real differences between the two sides and attempt to prevent progress from being made.
- AlbertCory 5y ago"progress" meaning "my tribe wins."
- danaris 5y ago"Progress," meaning "the things the "tribe" that labels itself as "progressive" wants." So, yeah, you're not being particularly clever by observing that.
