Ya'll got me. Pandemics are magic. China is magic. Bill Nye is the prophet of our times.

On the topic of global-warming tipping points, I wonder how important this one will turn out to have been:-

Parts of Amazon now emitting more CO2 than they absorb:- https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/15/a...scn/index.html

Quote:

During the study's nine years, the southeastern Amazon in particular has switched from a carbon sink to a "substantial carbon source," as deforestation and fires increased in frequency and severity, the study said. These factors, along with global climate change, are causing temperatures to increase steadily -- and "these changes appear to be accelerating," it added.

"Remember the good old days when the Amazon was still a net absorber of CO2 ?"

I mean nah but you just have a nerdy nationalist's obsession with China, seemingly as a way to distract attention from your vacuous obsession with Donald Trump. I think most of us are well beyond taking anything you say seriously but you simply won't shut the hell up so someone still ends up responding.

I mean I thought the same thing when he was talking that **** when the pandemic was just fresh but that politico article is actually interesting.... You should try the approach of not
so much about defending some "take" you think is important and just take the **** as news.. im taking a zen approach to politics lately... And no I don't know what zen actually means but that doesn't really matter.. that makes it extra zen

I'm open to the lab spread theory but just cause some Jewish bankers were doing some rat ****ing **** doesn't mean I'm gonna start taking David Duke seriously.

You keep bringing up "taking him seriously"

This is what's known as poisoning the well iirc

Don't engage the content or idea just disregard it cause of the messenger

Your insistence and dedication to this strawman approach to argumentation on every topic I comment on when you have nothing else to add to a conversation is quite something I guess, but it doesn't make you any less of a goose. I've seen you say some variation of this multiple times now - should I scour the internet and find you some medication?

Ironically, the way he approaches information reminds me a lot of actual conspiracy theorists. He's so concerned about my nefarious agenda that he can't engage honestly with the topic at hand.
