The Environmental Watchdog MasterThread

Even aside from the fact that the video even notes that the only "expert" featured works for a hedge fund, he is not a scientist. He is a Wall Street lapdog and noted poker player. Why is that video relying on a poker player?

I mean whether we have 12 years or 30 years it's probably smarter to plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Dude in the video is just like nah there's no reason to think there's a tipping point or a point of no return... Which to me seems like a really stupid gamble. The video I posted highlighted several possible feedback loops that can easily send things past the point of no return. Just look at other mass extinctions... There's always a tipping point. We might not know exactly where that tipping point lies but that doesn't really give me any extra comfort personally..

It's fine to criticize specific policies you think might be counter productive but if your only alternative is to just give it time.... Yeah I'm gonna say you really don't have **** worked out you just don't wanna make any sacrifices till you're truly convinced.

dunno I feel like if it came from a lab the most likely scenario would be that it leaked on accident from a virology lab

Though I think if I were putting my conspiracy hat on, I'd think China would be my suspect. Because it's too perfect. Release it in your country cause that gives you cover from suspicion. You wouldn't infect yourself would you?

At the same time in the back of china's mind, they know they have more experience and discipline in terms of quarantining and dealing with pandemics/viral outbreaks. China deals with **** like that all the time.

So leak it in your country, do a proper quarantine and get it under control locally while it ravishes through your less prepared and less competent adversary. Pretty much perfect plan and execution, China.

Though the funny answer would be it leaked from the virology labs cafeteria where the Chinese scientists were chowing down on some Bats or pangolins or whatever the **** those weirdos eat

experts, you say?

well then nothing to see here folks. the experts have decided for us that this virus for sure came from cheerful but sleepy chinamen with bat sauce on their chins.

bruh im not even saying the **** came from a lab just running through scenarios where it could have done so.... which i didn't even introduce your role model and father figure frownland did

but you say scientific consensus and compare the **** to climate change as if there's even much data to go on here... i don't think you know **** about it either you're just a fact checker who doesn't have any facts of his own
