Sorry, I still think anyone denying the existence of climate change is too stupid to live.
I got into this with a buddy of mine that works in the oil field. He adamantly denies the existence of climate change, saying that its a conspiracy cooked up by liberals to kill the oil and gas industry, and claims that the unusually dramatic weather patterns that have been occurring across the country in recent years are no different than any other year, and its all sensationalism by the liberal-controlled media...
Because, yeah, -15 degrees in Tennessee is the norm for the end of February... :facepalm:
The thing I don't get, is why is it so hard to grasp the concept that yes, there is climate change, yes, it is more than likely in part caused or exacerbated by human activities, and yes, we should be researching and developing ways to make harvesting and burning fossil fuels as efficient and clean as possible.
Obviously, modern society can't function without them, at least, not with the existing infrastructure and energy demands, they won't last forever, and they aren't the cleanest way of doing things, so why not do everything possible to ensure that the industry does things in a way that isn't just "**** the planet, we made money lol"
