It's actually cow burps that they are concerned about.

Why should I tolerate being called a climate denier and a science denier by someone who owns an over-powered, over-consuming automobile that is essentially in its lowest trim level an economy car? Such a person is saying that my actions are harming the earth for future generations because I am damaging the climate now. My logical response to such a person is, "FU, you start first." Driving an over-powered, over-consuming automobile is evidence their concern is not what they say it is. This is the issue with those who meet in Davos.

From the Enlightenment in the days of Bacon, Descartes, Newton Et Al up until our recent era of 'My Truth", Science has been defined by the Scientific Method. Scientific Method requires a hypothesis to be proven by experimentation that produces repeatable empirical data. Computer modeling fed by selected (one could say cherry picked) data provided by those called scientists whose funding and livelihoods depend on reaching certain acceptable conclusions, or the "overwhelming consensus" of same is not Science as defined by the Scientific Method.
Galileo Galilei was tried and convicted by the Inquisition for the heresy of denying the Geocentric model of the universe, against the overwhelming consensus of learned people of the day that the Earth does not in fact revolve around the sun; we refer to that belief today as "religious dogma". I submit that todays "Climate Science" is indistinguishable from 16th century religious dogma. |

BTW, we don’t get the lowest trim levels in the US. If you lived here, you’d know that. How many profiles / personalities do you have? |

No one is giving you shit about driving an M340i. You're getting shit for telling the rest of us we are harming the planet by damaging the environment because we are driving our cars (while you are driving one too). Yikes.

WRONG. I didn’t tell you or anyone else a damn thing about what to drive. I said I accept the science of climate change and you under the guise of your alternate profile have been the one obsessed with my car FOR DAYS. Get your damn facts straight.

If you "accept the science" about anthropogenic climate change, one mainstays of the belief that humans are negatively affecting the climate is personal use of ICE -powered vehicles. So, it is hypocritical to tell others they are a climate denier while you drive an ICE-powered automobile. Further, it was pointed out that you drive a version of the 3-series that is less efficient (consumes more resources) than other cars available to drive. You're upset about it. That's okay. No need to yell.

You shit all over my car, saying it’s an econobox, no it’s a gas guzzler, no it’s an econobox, no it’s a gas guzzler, have been calling me a hypocrite, and saying all kinds of other inflammatory shit. When you get the reaction you clearly want, suddenly it’s “Calm down.” Lol fuck off. Who’s telling who what to do here? Your climate skepticism is like a religion. This conversation has been over many times but you keep piping up to prolong it because 1) you can’t accept that people disagree with you, or more likely 2) you know the science is legit but you reject it because you don’t want to change your lifestyle. Whatever it is, talk to your therapist about it because I don’t care that you don’t accept it. I don’t care what you drive, where you live, what you eat, or what you want to tell yourself. Yes, I accept the science of climate change and yes I drive an M340i. If YOU don’t like it, that’s a you problem. Way to jack this thread about BMW’s partnership with Toyota to develop FCEVs. If you think climate change is a hoax and don’t care about carbon emissions, why are you even involved in this conversation? Maybe because you’re obsessed with something you claim to think isn’t real. Kinda sad but also hilarious. |

If you get tired of all of this, one simple solution to the problem is to just "Ignore" him. He can't see that it happened, and the problem just goes away. He might be surprised at how many have already done this but with this you won't see his posts, he is still happy to be talking, doesn't realize how few are actually listening. Everyone is happy.
