Temperature going up over time? Over how long? 100 years compared to billions, the age of earth? Do you even understand basic statistics to calculate the confidence in such a measurement?

All the bullshit you're parroting from television, like green house effect, is at best circumstantial evidence but it's not proof, and it's evidence with negligible confidence due to the huge error margin mentioned earlier. Even worse, it's not even evidence because of the oldest rule in the book "correlation doesn't imply causation", yet somehow it's still science when basic logic is broken to support a political agenda propped by ignorant people who know nothing in math and teenagers who still don't know the difference between integrals and derivatives and cry that "math is hard".

I hate to break it to you, but people who can't calculate the standard error on measurements shouldn't open their mouths about science, and certainly shouldn't ask us to surrender all our power and money to corrupt politicians for a fictitious goal.

I'm bored of hearing all this politicized nonsense. Maybe go find a book of someone who disagrees with your opinion and learn something outside of what you learned on television.

I don't think I'll respond if you bore me again.

Just remember in 20 years when nothing changes and life proceeds as normal. No one will care what you think then because the robbery will have been done.

And people wonder how I know that Lemmy is all teenagers.

You sound like a teenager. We can talk after you finish high school.

I don't disagree with you. My contention is that the assumption of "uncorrupt power" is just naive and short term, at best.

What kind of logic is that? You're confusing "taking care of you" with "making trades". My life doesn't depend on one person making clothes for me. I can switch them whenever I want, unlike your monopoly government, or Google for that matter.

Dude everything you said is wrong... doctors don't have doctorates... PhDs do. Also you didn't invalidate my point, which is that trust isn't blind. You sound like a teenager. When you grow up you'll understand what accountability means and how governments have none.

Right... you do understand that most politicians in western countries are career politicians that have been there for decades, right?

A good example is Biden himself. He's been there in politics for like 50 years. It's a geriatric club at this point it's become a common joke.

Same delusion as the poster of the meme. People believe in the same ideals that created the problem without looking at what it has become. Not everything that sounds good is good. Life is more complex than the simple model that simple people keep believing in. People will always find a way to abuse a system for their own benefit. That's the result of "power corrupts".
