Amps Very rare I meet people with that opinion on climate change these days

Same. But which is worse - don’t believe it’s happening, or believe it’s happening and in a position of power, but won’t do anything about it because it doesn’t suit my personal power dynamic (see current Tory leadership campaigns)?

      Oh they are out there alright. I’ve got a friend the same who is neither of those. Actually he’s well read, quite intelligent and generally well informed. He is however a xenophobic, Tory voting, homophobic.( As most Tories are)
      He also gets great pleasure in bombarding me with YouTube clips of climate change denial.
      Mainly by washed up or discredited 70 year old scientists from America.
      Incidentally he’s a big Peterson fan too and absolutely hates it when I mock him for being a steak eating loon 😂👍

      vinnyt77 I suppose if there must be some people who are fairly reasonable in most regards (so, not flat earthers, not daft racists, not Tories) who just can’t comprehend it or don’t trust scientists, in which case, fair enough, they are yet to be convinced… but, regardless of power, if you just deny it or spread misinformation for your own gain, you can fuck off.

      Reading about the work of the CIA, their owners, and foreign equivalents etc recently, and realising that they are happy to assassinate their own president over market regulation, bomb Panama for ego, and install puppet governments worldwide, ‘they’ won’t do a thing about the climate until it’s fucked and saving it equals more money.

        He’s an anti-vaxxer, intelligent to a degree, he’s an engineer for Dell in the States, from Ireland, loves his bangers and was there during the Summer of electronic love but since moving to the States about 16 years ago has turned into an AR-15 wielding, Fox News watching, Trump loving, ignorant twat. He bangs on about how the media brainwashes but just doesn’t see the irony in any of his newly held “beliefs” force fed to him by the media he consumes. He’s literally a walking social experiment.

          I think I honestly thought that that kind of mentality and behaviour was ingrained from birth. Pretty stunned to hear an otherwise non-mentaller can adopt the craziness that quickly…

            LT42 I received a tirade about how climate change is a hoax and the real problem is I dont know the professor who did the research

            Lol!

            He’s gone Liqui, absolutely gone!

              Have just seen that the US Postal Service have 40 year old trucks that do 6 miles per gallon 🤯 That’s worse than a Lamborghini Countach of the same era that did a comparatively prudent 7 miles per gallon. How the fuck could anyone make anything that shit and find a buyer for it? Even worse, there are over 50 thousand of the cunts still on the roads.

              Could be a painful winter in Deutschland with Putin toying with their energy supplies

              Absolutely Fewmin watching ‘Big Oil v the world’
