Instead of facts, we substitute belief systems, propaganda held out as facts and insults of those that believe differently. And then there are all the PC phrases and words like pollution, CO2 is a pollutant, green house gases (negative connotation....on whose authority?), rising temperatures (based upon what reliable data), rising sea waters, efficient markets (is there such a thing?), man-caused climate change (used to be global warming, then climate chaos, now back to global warming although the actual temperatures don't support this...kinda arrogant to believe man can actually have more effect on Earth than the sun), deniers, polluters, obvious industry propaganda (haven't heard obvious government propaganda here yet though), pollution is free, (resolving climate) is a market based solution, denigrate the 3 scientists that present their opinions (because they are not the same as one's opinion), and on and on and on..... I'd hate to try to guess what the various posters' political leanings are but I bet I can with a high degree of accuracy.
