The General Political Thread

[Theodin]

Nice false moral equivalency. Offer a real argument or policy suggestion rather than making baseless judgments about my moral values.
That’s very intellectually dishonest of you

[Furrnox]

There have already been research posted before that you've rejected so I don't see the point.

So, instead of a) telling me when and where I have you make a fallicious statement and b) justify your fallacy with a fallacy.
Idk if it’s because your first language isn’t English or you’re just incredibly poor at discussion but you’re really not doing well here

There is already evidence of the world changing around us as a result of pollution. You can even see in places like China some people are even wearing masks to avoid breathing the air. Sure you can be a bit richer in the short term but the long term effects could be frightening for humanity. It’s not just about our generation, but those to come.

Then China should do something about it. The EPA’s yearly reports show that US air quality is better than its ever been - only in like three cities in the Midwest is pollution a problem.

And burning more fossil fuels is going to make that rise. Eventually if pollution levels aren’t dealt with they will begin to affect our lives negatively. That’s why it’s better to prevent that from happening before it’s too late to deal with it.

Fine I'll bite. As far as I can tell you deny that human influence haven't had a significant impact on the enviroment or at least global warming correct?
Yet in 2013 the IPCC said this ""It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century."

The overwhelming majority of scientist agree so I don't see how you can be so skeptic.

Can't say that I trust the EPA under Scott Pruitt.

Says the one who never shies away from using plenty of ad-hominems... I mean it don't feel like contributing to the discussion but your statements are generally just pure comedy.

Theodin is Canadian, it's biologically impossible for him to be rude.

Canadians in this community are however a special breed

Trump willing to apologise for his retweet of the Britain first video. I'm surprised.

Interesting discussion in my world politics class on how despite Europe's constant push for globalization, it itself is plagued by neo-fascist movements when outsiders try to come in. Pretty ironic really

[Duuring]

'Europe's constant push for globalization' 'plagued by neo-fascists movements' oh man you're killing me here.

You're moderating kills me and the whole forum but there's nothing we can do.

Next point please.
