If these people are so concerned about global warming

[Neanderthaland]

Good job OP, you've disproved Global Warming.

Who knew that all those facts, and figures, and indisputable thermometer readings could be disproved by some rich celebrities poor real estate investments?

[Neutraligon]

Why do I care what a climate activist says or does (except to note they are hypocrites) when I can instead read the scientific papers and talk to actual scientists who are knowledgeable in the field?

[Borovan entered the region as he]

Al gore's old. Doesn't need to think about rising sea levels. He's drinking piña colada in his mansion retirement

Al Gore cares more about rising sea levels than a lot of people posting in this thread. Knows more about it, too.

[Blargoblarg]

So, global warming is not true because some rich people who think it's true are buying seaside properties? Good job OP, I'm convinced.

[Liriena]

Well, if that's the case then why are global warming champions buying sea side properties.

The individual real estate business decisions of rich fucks who happen to agree with climate science don't disprove decades of climate science so maybe you ought to sit the hell down and take your lazy, petty contrarian bullshit elsewhere. You're not making a good faith argument. You're just trying to play 5D mental backgammon against climate change activists to justify your own lazy, incurious, uneducated cynicism and complacency.

Gore and Obama buying seaside property has nothing to do with whether global warming is real, which science says it is. If you actually cared, if you had any curiosity or sincerity, you'd acknowledge that and wouldn't try to resort to an "argument" this dumb.

Fucking embarrassing that people have dedicated their lives to freedom of speech and science, and that all of their efforts are being wasted by the likes of you, OP.

Because right-wing contrarianism has the intellectual depth of a puddle.

[Drongonia]

Yeah, they don't care. They are just part of the leftist climate alarmist crowd.

[Costa Fierro]

"Leftie alarmist crowd". Please don't tell me you're old enough to vote.

And this is why I'm a libertarian socialist except when it comes to climate change.

[Liriena]

Let's be honest: Anyone who says that "science proves human-caused global warming" is either a liar, or doesn't know what science is.

I'm gonna stop ya right there bud.

The more you post, the more I love you, just a lil' bit.

[Jean-Paul Sartre]

We've known since the days of Arrhenius (that's over 100 years ago) that CO2 causes a greenhouse effect. It's simple chemistry. Still, people won't do anything. Why?

Humanity is the sickest of all species on Earth, and its demise would be celebrated if there were any other conscious beings to do so.

[Drongonia]

Yeah, they don't care. They are just part of the leftist climate alarmist crowd.

Of course I am. What an absolutely condescending remark to make. Mind you, whenever I see you in the forums you're always making ridiculous arguments and straight up being rude to people - no changes here.

[The Transmondian Commonwealth]

They will be able to enjoy those seaside properties for several years before the rising sea levels ruin it. Maybe it's worth it to them to have that enjoyment now.

Whereas "They are just part of the leftist climate alarmist crowd" is a solid, mature, well thought out and reasonable argument that makes a strong point, of course.

Tone policing is a child's idea of rational debate. Plus, you lost the moral authority to complain about rudeness when you framed everyone who disagrees with you as "part of the leftist climate alarmist crowd".

Also important to note that Al Gore and Barack Obama are boomers. They'll be dead before the major effects hit us. What pitiful excuses for human beings, though. Imagine buying a house and just relaxing instead of using that influence to impact meaningful change.

Oh god, not you again. Time to leave this thread before I put a damn bullet in my head. (But no, it wasn't directed at everyone I disagree with, but details don't concern you much.)

Extremely. Normal. Reaction.

Ah, yes, that is the very famous and prestigious form of rhetorical praxis where you pretend that you find your opponent so personally insufferable that you have no choice but to flee without engaging with their argument, lest you are driven insane by the interaction.

Might be time to leave the thread.

[Caninope]

Asking why someone will buy seaside property despite rising sea levels is like asking why people buy computers despite the massive depreciation they bring.
