" bunch of folks who would rather you were required to live your life to their rules"
This is a better description of the people who want me to live by their rules - the people who want to burn lots of coal, for instance. I get to live with their emissions, whether I like it or not.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI think we agree. Doesn't matter if the people defining the 'right' way to live are Catholics, Jews, Christians, Warmists, Marxists, Anarchists, or any other. Group A, demands behavior B, threatens consequence C if people don't adhere to the rules. Sometimes the threat is positioned as a natural consequence "if you give up your civil liberties you give others the power to disappear you", sometimes the agent is more faith based like "if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior you won't get into heaven and live with the angels." Much of the warmist rhetoric is akin to religion "If you don't change your ways you will burn in an over warm planet." Much of the warming science is about understanding cause and effect. Trying to talk science with someone whose opinions are based on faith (or emotion) is generally unproductive.
