This is ridiculous. Saying that we have to stop putting so much CO2 in the air is not a vengeful god, it's just the facts. Wanting the sea levels to not rise and displace millions of people from their homes is pragmatism. You are the one who is putting ideology above facts.


What ideology am I putting above facts? Where did I say I wanted the sea level to rise?


Your stance that people trying to mitigate global warming are acting like "climate change is some vengeful god who we must sacrifice for and express an unshakable belief in." is ideology. Your denial of the scientific consensus is ideology. Your coming here to post in an expression of your ideology. It doesn't matter if you want the sea levels to rise or are just in denial of the facts and think they won't.

Then it doesn't matter what I write, or say, you can divine my true beliefs?

Sounds a little bit like...the clergy! :)


Of course it matters what you write, it's just your motivation for what you write isn't really relevant. I don't know if you are just some edgy guy hanging out trying to rile people up, some true believer who's sincerely thinks climate change is a hoax, or somewhere in between. The great thing about science is things are true or false on their own.

Also clergy don't think they can magically divine people's true beliefs unless you are talking about D&D, so you really need to work on your metaphors.
