It's not actual evidence until you show it. You do know documents can be faked. I plead guilty to being a cynic and untrusting of the cult of climate change.

The revealing part is where you categorically rejected the notion that I had credentials even if I showed them to you.

False! 97% is false and if you take out the money scared hacks it is even lower.
Appears you have an extremely short memory. I was clear in a prior comment that the 97% were climate scientists who where actively investigating and publishing their research results.

According to a survey conducted by the University of Illinois in 2015, between 91% (all scientists) to 100% (climate scientists with high levels of expertise, 20+ papers published) agreed human activity is causing climate change. Among the total group of climate scientists, 98.7% agreed1. The vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change2. Most of the leading science organizations around the world have issued public statements expressing this, including international and U.S. science academies, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and many others2.​
It is becoming evident that you simply want to be annoying by displaying the minuscule knowledge that you might possess. My comments are not to persuade the deniers like you that admittedly I find entertaining, but rather to correct willful disinformation and to reach others who have the intelligence to recognize and understand the facts. So go ahead, be my guest, continue to play mindless games but know that it provides many of us here opportunity to learn among ourselves and to educate others as well as to be entertained.

It is not difficult to discern who among us have actual knowledge as opposed to those who are faking it.

BTW climate science is not a cult, to say so is an obvious display of ignorance. Climate change is a scientific phenomenon that has been studied by scientists for decades. As much as deniers want to compare it to a cult this comparison is not accurate as climate change is based on scientific evidence and research not on beliefs.

Challenge: If climate change is the dire desaster claimed by many why are not posters here telling of all they are doing to combat what they believe is destroying mankind. Maybe we can have pledges to trade cars for bicycles. turn off the lights, eat bugs, give up current lifestyles for greener ones. After all believing in something so vehemently should produce some kind of major lifestyle correction.

I am reminded of a recent gathering of millionaires who support the rich paying more in taxes, when they were ask to pledge sending a check to the IRS they ALL declined.

Come on guys if you believe this stuff with all of your being lets hear of the personal sacrifice you are making to save humanity.

I posted a video of Tucker reporting on climate change and you respond with an election diversion???????
Yes I did. It points directly to Tucker's veracity and willingness to feed disinformation to his viewers.

Do you really expect any intelligent or knowledgeable person to take serious or give a hoot about what Tucker claims?

We are not, I repeat, we are not able to change the direction that climate is taking, the worse has already been baked in. We can make sacrifices in our life style that might delay it somewhat or perhaps make it less severe for future generations.

Many people have cut back on energy use but there is no need to say hey "look at me." Deniers wear their denial as a badge, in large part, to justify maintaining a wasteful lifestyle.

But what have you done ? If you have not done what you are preaching you have no right or grounds to call me out for not believing the cultish nonsense.

Actually you showed you are not interested in truth on this topic because the video stands or falls on the content not your option of Tucker.

A intelligent or knowledgeable person would actually weigh the merit of what was said.

Tucker is not a credible person. Period. It is not worth anyone's time to take apart the distortions and lies in his presentations. I spent several hours ripping apart a different 5 minute video. Not going to do it again.

Nice to to know you now have a diploma relative to Tuckers credibility. You have deemed him not credible so case is tried, convicted and closed. Do you really wonder why I don’t regard some of your post credible? I’ll save you time I am fully aware you feel the same.

Videos are also really bad ways to argue a point on a discussion board. I generally don't watch *any* of them.

Fair enough so then you are not qualified to dispute what you haven’t seen.

I think you should no try to make your argument by video clips and use actual evidence. Tucker Carlson is not an expert of any sort on climate.

We are witnessing the "cult of climate". Inconvenient facts. Some of the prophets of doom in their own words.
Your going to Tucker Carlson for authority on the climate?!?
Is this a joke or something?
If that's truly your go to for truth, you have lost all credibility!

Didn't astronomers "go to" Clyde Tombaugh for truth?

That would be like climatologists going to Arrhenius. The big problem with Arrhenius and Tombaugh is that both are dead. They were also subject matter experts. Tucker is neither.

But doesn't Tucker just report the [facts] as they are given to him?
