Oh, you’re actually throwing in with the rationalizing bullshit?

That’s just stupid.

To be fair, the midevil era had several climate changes and most were caused by natural disasters. In reality humans can't really control their enviorment as well as we think. I don't think getting eco-friendly swords was going to stop those climate change. I really take issue with those who think the world ends if we don't get more eco in 50 years.

Downplaying the effect humans have on the environment also downplays how delicate the balance really is. To fall in with the conspiracy theories peddling all this pay-no-attention-to-what’s-behind-the-curtain crap is monumentally foolish and self-destructive. Also belongs in another thread.

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T BELONG IN THIS THREAD. What part of 'TAKE IT TO THE ACTUAL CLIMATE CHANGE THREAD' fails to fucking compute?

No, you're the one choosing to use all kinds of pseudo-scientific bullshit and rationalizing nonsense to say that the damage isn't going to be as bad as we think it is, essentially putting your hastily cobbled ignorant words at the same level as the vast majority of actual scientists who know what the fuck they're talking about. Much like creationism, your points have already been debunked even before you said anything about them.

But unlike certain folks who can't seem to take a fucking hint, I'm not willing to engage on the subject in an otherwise unrelated thread.

I think your overeacting. In no way have I said being eco-friendly is bad, but people have overeacted to this. The more you deny that there is eco-friendly extremism the more you look like a fool. Besides I don't recall you ever deny the crazy we're going to die due to global warming in 50 years, perhaps you believe it too? Look, I say a good couple hundred years will show that global warming will kill us, but not in 20 - 300 years.

When the scientists are saying 'bad shit's probably gonna happen in 20-50 years', I think it's worth looking at. As for 'eco-friendly extremism', isn't that like being a 'human rights extremist' or a 'Meals On Wheels extremist'? Hardly seems threatening.
