Join the club. I have lost 54 points so far in this single thread. The radical environmentalists seem to be upset with me. I actually don't care though, because whenever I see politically-motivated opinions masquerading as (junk) science, and otherwise intelligent people lending credence to it, I am going to say it.
The article's main thrust is not remotely provable, but is easily disprovable. That is all I have said. There you go, now downvote me. Let's make it an even -55 points.
- DanBC 13y agoYou keep using terms like "radical environmentalists". Most of HN are not in any way "radical" in terms of environmentalism. That alone is going to attract downvotes. You say that the article is easy to disprove, yet you have made no attempt to do so. Attmepting to have a discussion might have got you less downvotes than merely saying "this article is wrong".
- downandout 13y agoI don't care about the downvotes. The article did not prove its basic premise. It's that simple. I will keep saying it and keep getting downvotes. There aren't a lot of radical environmentalists on here, but I have several comments in this thread. Each one that is here can go through and take several points away, they've been doing it all night, and are apparently telling their tree hugging friends to do it as well. It's rather telling that all of my comments have -4 points; 5 crazies have taken 60 or so points. All it shows is that HN isn't the place it used to be.
