 Having a climate discussion on nostr is like subjecting your brain to slow melting 🫠 

Not worth it. 
 Slow melting like the icebergs 😂 
 Don’t go there! Gonna regret it 😆 
 You’ll come ‘round 😜 
 Well I for one appreciated your participation in my thread about it. :) 
 It’s a tough topic to discuss by bashing on a tiny keyboard 😅 

Thing is, a lot of denialism is correct when taken out of context. 
 Oh noes why? We've got such a great forum here, why not use it to sort out some of the more controversial things. 
 Because people feel the need to be correct and will try to defend their opinions at all costs instead of considering all the information. 
 And nostr is a particularly bad case if this? Dunno. I think you can just ignore the bigots. 
 Or expose people for their poor behavior. This missus here for example. Prefacing statements with "I'm not a climate scientist, but ..." promotes an idea of "ignorance is strength". And "I find the omission interesting" is implying criticism instead of expressing it to allow backtracking later.

 I will only have that conversation in-person, with geologists & usually I just end up asking a bunch of questions. 😅 
 I think it’s the only way possible to discuss it - face to face 
 It’s a religion for some. 
 Fair. It's primarily a religious dispute. (Not the issue itself, but the beliefs that surround it) 
 Record coral growth on Great Barrier Reef again this year....msm crickets 
 Pssst it's a scam, like everything from big government in clown world 
 Was going to ask about trees. Decided to follow your advice 🤣😅💯 
 Carbon sequestration via growth?

Oh no, I shouldn’t open my mouth 🤣 
 🤐🤫🤐🤫 we got free speech and here we are censoring ourselves for fear of the backlash 🤣😅😂🤣 
 Please stay optimistic. It is important, that people who try to argue with scientific proof keep playing part in the discussions. Lies only win as long as noone proofs they are wrong. 

The people who want to understand matter!
