You can also point out the ridiculous sound effects added for entertainment value. Like the crunching sounds of coral or plants moving in time-lapse photography. Or a chameleon eating a bug to the soundtrack of a horse eating hay.

But nonetheless, watch it with the kids. They will learn volumes.


We do that. It's just a shame what has become of it all.

This is close to my position and I almost never post in climate change threads bc I don’t care. I just saw the subject, read the OP and was just curious about the conservative consensus since it seems to have moved around over the years.

I would just like to point out that in at least three other threads I have commented how ignorant you are.


I only recall you being a moron in the musk-Twitter purchase threads. We can revisit if you like. But, in this thread, I am certainly clearly indicating I’m ignorant, hence the question. Is there something more that has twisted your panties up into your gaping twat?

conservative consensus

Climate change isn't really a conservative issue, but I'd argue conservatives are far more environmentally conscious than leftists. The rural areas of this country are almost exclusively Republican. Meanwhile, the majority of leftists live in urban cities, where nature is simply either an abstract idea or a cultivated and manicured entity (park or garden). More conservatives hunt and fish, which I'd argue makes them more concerned about their natural environmental surroundings than your average urban progressive. It baffles me how those who are most concerned with the natural world and its environment often live in the most unnatural of settings (large urban centers).

I don’t give a frick about any of that, it’s not responsive, same as your other sophomoric response.

Is the “conservative” position now that there is no warming occurring or that there is warming but it is not from human activity?

Does controllability enter the paradigm at any point???

Of course you don’t

We both you know you’re not interested in conservation efforts unless they’re coupled with child labor and higher taxes.

Not responsive because you don’t understand it. Not because it isn’t relevant.

They are still claiming that Easter Island suffered an eco-collapse due to cutting down all of the palms help to make statues. Reality is that the Portuguese landed there, introduced small pox and enslaved a lot of the men to work in their South American colonies.

OP never said anything about knowing better about anything... he said it's annoying to hear all that stuff while watching a nature documentary.

Someone who can't read and comprehend a simple post is the real idiot. Congrats.

You were trying to be a smartass and came off stupid. Funny.

The guy is in the media so he is probably a soy latte with extra foam drinking tranny but the only reason he has for pushing the global warming bs in his shows is less nefarious than some things leftist idiots do. Simply, he gets richer from donations if he can persuade more folks that there is an actual problem and that he can do things to change it

Would you have taken the same position when the Nazis were teaching kids about despicable heritable traits in Jews? Afterall, they studied it for a living as well.

For example, perhaps you have a rational explanation for these graphs, because the people "that study this for a living" OBVIOUSLY do not:

It is responsive you prick. You and your ilk are condescending twats who don't actually give a shite about the environment. The environment is simply another one of your fearmongering tactics used to control people. Go frick yourself.

Being a member of the mutual masturbation society that merely promotes the same tired ideas for decades on end while ignoring any and all evidence contrary to one's beliefs isn't what I would call sound science.

There are predicitions going back to the 60s of our impending doom, and not one of the dreaded outcomes has ever come close to becoming reality.

And you call the skeptics idiots? Look in the mirror.

100%. From agriculture to hunting and fishing, conservatives are way more concerned with the health of our environment and the stability of our climate.
