    I have a PhD in particle physics from a top 10 university in the world, and I don’t believe climate change is a problem. And I’m also not interested in discussing it (just so that no one comes with bs talking points, I’ve seen enough). I’m just saying this so that you don’t stumble on your own delusional bubble too much.

    You don’t believe in science. You believe in TV. You haven’t read a single peer reviewed paper on the matter, let alone papers that have a different point of view. So spare me your condescending bullshit.

    Now go ahead and downvote me so that you can sleep better at night after having excluded me, the infidel. Just remember that many people out there have degrees, educated and read 100 times on the matter than you and disagree with your delusions on the matter. Enjoy four faith in TV.

      I have a second question you say there are people who have read 100x more than us. Where is their work? Everything I can find says the climate change is real and it’s human caused.

        This is proof that you only watch mainstream media and think you know everything. This is the problem. You never even considered researching the opposite opinion, and you think it just doesn’t exist.

        And people wonder how censorship makes people more ignorant.

          Stop strawmanning my position in your head. The most often anti climate change scientist I saw quoted was Richard Lindzen. Who’s position seems to be CO2 causes global warming but it’s not as bad as most people predict, but his claims have been refuted repeatedly so please show me the sources you are using. They did a study to investigate his iris effect, his claim being this would cool the planet counteracting the CO2, the study found the iris effect would cause further warming. So again if you aren’t just a troll at this point what book or source are you getting this information from?

            I have argued with otherwise intelligent people who sound exactly like the person above. It is a strange contrarian mentality with no basis in the science as they claim. I once even took up the challenge from someone who said I was afraid to investigate the “other side”. I read every single thing he sent me and they were all rubbish. Not a one of them even support the claims he made. When I responded saying this just fired back that I was brain-washed or carrying water for commies or other such inanities. It became clear after a while that he did not even understand the basics of the greenhouse effect or how CO2 and other gasses cause it. I was utterly flabbergasted.

            long story short : the person above may have the degrees they claim but they are not educated on this subject. It is so simple even a layman can understand it so they have no excuse.

          The person you replied to made no such claims and even no implications in their comment. Your ego-maniacal idea that people cannot have differing opinions on things and that they must be less intelligent than you is borderline concerning. You need help.

              You know what? I’m not gonna respect somebody who calls me a dumbass and asks what’s wrong with me over a fucking internet discussion. You can go fuck yourself. I’m just not pursuing anything further when somebody resorts to insults and rage-baiting when somebody dares go against their personal narrative. Think that you’re smarter than everybody else if you want, that just means you’ll get more people like me refusing to engage with you.

          More engineers buy into cults, per capita, than the general population. Being told they are the smartest boy all day makes them unable to consider if they’ve been duped.

          I don’t think it’s impossible for that climate denialist chud to have some sciencey degree (though absolutely no evidence has been presented so far), but even if one was present, that doesn’t actually mean anything when it comes to horrible takes and general edgelord nonsense.

        Today is your lucky day. Since I’m in a good mood, let’s see if you’ll put your money where your mouth is.

        I will reveal my real name, my PhD thesis, with a link to the university linking to my thesis. Here’s the bet: if I can prove it (that I have a PhD in particle physics from a prestigious university of top 10), you pay me one whole fucking bitcoin. If not, I’ll pay you one bitcoin.

        We’ll find a betting platform (of your choice if you wish) where we deposit these bitcoins into a multisig address with a referee. One of us wins based on the bet.

        Are you gonna put your money where your mouth is? Or a dick where you learn not to open your mouth next time?

        What do you say?

            Talk is easy. This is why climate change is mainstream, because dumb people with big mouths make their dumb opinions sound real with fake confidence. Now you know what your confidence is worth. Class dismissed.

                  being dumb is exactly how you got where you are.

                  having a PhD doesn’t mean you think critically or can evaluate literature anymore. and it definitely does not give you license to kick out of your coverage, like you’re trying desperately to do here…

                  having your little credential just means your committee wanted you gone after 5 years of being an asshole and didn’t want to fuck the stats of whatever shit tier program’s orifice you oozed out of.

          Not sure if this is a bit or if you’re a world-class example of people so specialized that they have deluded themselves into believing they are experts in everything because of how special their specialization made them feel in college.

            At least I’m a freaking physicist. I understand statistics and math. You believe freaking ecologists for crying our loud! Anyone who talks for climate change is believed, and anyone who is against it is questioned. Wtf does Bill Nye or Tyson have to do with climate change? Yet somehow no one tells them “stfu, this isn’t your field”. They’re just “TV”. No one even comes close to researching this matter before spitting out a dumb opinion to avoid peer pressure.

            But suddenly when someone disagrees, now they lose all their credentials and it isn’t their specialty.

            This game is being played on a global scale. So don’t play the game “specialty and field”, because a monkey agreeing with you can become an authoritative source from what I saw. All you have to do is silence everyone who disagrees with you. I’m not silenced yet, and I have an opinion, and no one has to give a shit for all I care.

People who believe anything said on TV, and have big mouths with big confidence with zero responsibility. Exactly the kind of people who transmit bullshit to make themselves feel better and feel relevant in a world that discarded them like the pieces of nothing they deserve to be.

          • Appointee4912 has PhD in particle physics,

          • university is prestigious, and

          • university is in top 10 of something

        You’re confusing me with someone who gives a shit. I’m not here to argue science.

        You’re in a cult. Evidence doesn’t matter. Otherwise you would’ve found the evidence yourself. It’s the same shit I face with religious nut jobs defending their ancient books. So spare me your ideals. You’re all brainwashed and do zero due diligence and have faith in TV and call it science. That’s the current zeitgeist.

      Share your peer reviewed papers and research that disagree… the ones that have you convinced.

      I mean a PhD in particle physics doesn’t make you an expert on climate physics any more than my degree make me one, and as you’ve said plenty of people with plenty of degrees have come to differing opinions. The majority of climate researchers do agree that climate change is real, but if you post the sources that have you convinced, I’ll read them as I’m sure some others will.

      I have an undergrad minor in sustainable energy systems engineering and they taught us how to look up ipcc reports. Whatever university you went to sucks dogshit if you didn’t get that far in your PhD program.

      You can measure community’s IQ by how far down you have to scroll through “dumb republicans, amirite xdxdxd?” before you reach a post like this one. And that guy with gifs in every message is obnoxious as fuck.
