 So they’re just willing to burn their money for a short term view then?

Don’t tell me it’s not a discussion worth having, this is pure cop out from you and given how many questions you’ve ignored in this thread none of this is favouring you.

You can’t steelman your opposition. You can’t say why India/China are ignoring this whole thing. You can’t argue against the suns impact on climate. You can’t argue about potable water. You can’t argue “what we should do”. You conflate 150 years of data with a million years of humanity.

Your whole thing is based off what someone you live with told you. You refuse to question this but we should all believe that you and whoever you live with is right - nonsense.

You don’t see how idiotic this is, because to do so would undermine fundamental things you’ve told yourself. So when someone like me comes in with no fucks given, you just want to dismiss it rather than address it because you can’t tackle it head on without exposing yourself.

This whole thread is an expression of disappointment in your rationality. 

You believed an “expert” and that’s where you stopped. Everything that doesn’t fit in your expert’s bucket has to be ignored so you don’t look totally stupid.

But you do, because you refuse to engage in anything in good faith.
