Climate change:

is happening and is a direct consequence of industrialism and overpopulation over the last 200yrs and if we do nothing, humans are going to live in dramatically different, inhospitable conditions over the next 200yrs, think Mad Max

is happening and is just a natural cycle of the earth and environment, will happen again once we are long gone, and possibly not much we can do about it except maybe at the margin

is likely happening and we just currently lack sufficient information over a long enough period to draw an accurate conclusion of the extent that humans have possibly impacted its potential acceleration

is Hogwash, what climate change? It's the media and politicians trying to scare us or sway votes and public opinion. EVs? I don't even like charging my phone.

Well, that failure was in huge part due to the orange CoronaVillain and his minions telling his gullible followers to ignore it. As a society we can do great things if we have good leadership and use our brains.

Garbage? LOL. As I like to tell the illustrious Comrade Pilgrim, facts are facts. To some, maybe they see them as "garbage". But they're still facts.

Surprised nobody has brought up crypto mining and the energy drain that many of them require, BTC and others; I don't have any hard statistics on that only anecdotal evidence, but seems ironic that for one of the most avant-guard of technologies, an unintended consequence is its huge power suck and resultant pollution.

I just love POW stickers on the bumpers of massive sub 15mpg trucks on Vail Pass hauling sleds.

You wouldn’t know a fact if it came to you from the burning bush. Your burning bush I mean; I don’t believe those “facts” either.

And I’m not your comrade, in fun or otherwise.

I’ll hook you up with my climate change denying, dingleberry brother who is also a drumpf lickspittle.

Look lickspittle up if you’re not clear on where I stand.

Well, Comrade, since it has obviously escaped your esteemed mind, that descriptive term is more about your somewhat radical political viewpoints expressed on this site, relative to my own. The use of the non-humorous descriptor Comrade is an attempt to tie you to the USSR, politically. No, you are correct: you are not my friend.
Oh, and I never denied the climate is changing. More pesky facts.
However, I do find it sad you regard your own brother in such a way as you do a stranger on this forum, and do so publicly.
