Irreversible climate damage is imminent

As a geologist, I find it hard to imagine Yosemite having any sort of eruption. No volcanoes there.

He meant Yellowstone. Innocent mistake, but still funny.

I've been trying to tell you that for ages!

Exactly. I know what he meant, but had to have some fun with what he actually wrote.

 

[NWB]

Scientists can't even agree on the age of the earth, let alone climate change causation.

I had a disagreement with another geologist about the tectonic interpretation of microfractures in a particular body of granodiorite.

Therefore, climate change scientists must be wrong.

 

[NWB]

Same thing really.

Those who find some elevation of their self-image in eschewing "religion" just refuse to admit it.

Point missed.

I hold no responsibility for the errors I post prior to meds kicking in.:|

I missed it too. He made me look up eschew though and here is what I found:

to avoid habitually especially on moral or practical grounds : shun


Hmmm, still not clear what he meant.

He quoted my post with a response that didn't seem to understand what I was trying to say.

For the sake of clarity, my post was meant as a comparison to the contentiousness of climate change discussions to those of politics or religion.

I took it to be a shot at some acedemics for eschewing religion in order for themselves to feel "intellectually superior" to religious people.

Ie: believing in "hard science" rather than "fairytales".

More polarizing the discussion toward the extremes or attacking the messenger rather than the idea.

Yeah, bro. Quit moving in on my turf of lowering discussions to personal attacks!

You suck and you don't know what you're talking about.

That's my title. It's similar to "Phd" or "Esquire".

Pish posh! It's palindromic! How much more elitist can you get?

I think it is important to point out that unlike the two banned topics, science has an established method for determining "right" and "wrong." Climate change is not something that is really up to debate.
