I do take myself seriously, and honestly I don’t advocate either way on the issue, it’s not my issue, humanity has a lot of issues and one man cannot tackle them all. I have seen some data questioning the validity of the 97% agree figure and some break downs of the studies that show some underhanded things, but I don’t spend my time posting it, my issue is speech, your issue is climate change we all choose our battles. I welcome you to fight yours here just like I’m fighting mine here. I’ve no issue with what you believe non what so ever, I don’t agree but I welcome you to convince me otherwise over time with facts. I’m not saying I’ll change my mind but I’m not saying I won’t if I see something convincing enough and it stands up to research. I’m not above changing my opinions I have many times on many issues when new data becomes available. So yes I take myself seriously, I don’t put together lengthy arguments on climate science as it’s not my chosen battle, but I welcome you to do so. I might even from time to time ask you a question, and rather than viewing it as an attack when it comes from me it’s just a genuine question.
Most of that is sensible. However, if you hold an opinion you should be able to defend it, and I don't think you're doing well in that regard. Better to declare yourself agnostic on the issue pending further investigation. There are many things I haven't investigated enough, and wouldn't feel justified in taking sides on. You know I'm with you regarding free speech.
I just hold the opinion I do based on what I have seen, if I see something new mable it will change. I’m not claiming I’m and expert but when the topic is brought up I’ll ask questions that are influenced by my current opinion.
Thanks for being in the corner of free speech with me, that one I appreciate. Seems we are a minority on the issue in the world at the moment.
By the way, global warming isn't really my issue. You lacked a conservation sub so I made one.
If you wasted too much time on a website full of flat-earthers, you'd probably get people saying that the round-earth is 'your issue'.
