Ahh yes, liberal brigade of Anandtech strikes again.. 40 years means nothing in the lifespan on earth. I won’t even go into the absurdity of believing decisions should be made over 40 years, with the historical record being well over two billions year old.
I would very much like you to go into the absurdity of why you think the existence of temperature records going back billions of years means we should not act on climate change. (Also they don’t go back that far, haha)
Please, do this. Do it for me.
What facts did he state? His engine gets better m/g? That’s a complete farce. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about and neither do you on the subject. If you want to get into combustion engines, and how they work, along with the measuring done by the EPA I can gladly discuss that as that’s my area of expertise. Feel free to make a thread on it if you like, but don’t come in these threads acting as if you’re an expert.
He said his car gets better MPG, which it apparently does. It is irrelevant as to why that’s the case.
Per capita emissions means nothing. China far exceeds any country in co2. Yes, I said country.
Per capita emissions mean far more than by country and this should be common sense. Countries are simply lines drawn on a map, the climate doesn’t care what country you’re from. By your example if one person lived in country A and everyone else on the planet lived in country B, if country B’s emissions were 10% higher that should be what we focus on because per capita emissions mean nothing.
When it’s put that way do you see how stupid your argument is? This really should be common sense.
It’s you that wants to destroy the economy that hundreds of thousands died for, and brought the country and its allies standard of living to something never seen before in the History of mankind.
It’s ironic that you accuse others of arguing based on feelings and then launch into these sorts of emotional rants. As for people dying for it I spent seven years serving in defense of our country. Have you served?
You should note that I don’t think whether you served or not has any bearing on the validity of your arguments, I just find it funny how often people like to brag about the sacrifice of other people when they often haven’t put in the time themselves.
Show your paystub, let’s see how much you’ve been taxed, or are you one of those countless trolls here that like to play with Monopoly money?
The quality of someone’s ideas has literally nothing to do with how much money they make. They are either good or bad on their own merits.
The fact that you’re resorting to this sort of dick waving and personal attacks makes me think you realize on some level that you can’t argue this on the merits.
