    Elon Musk Is The Saviour Humanity Needs

    Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, Elon Musk is the closest thing we have to a real-life Tony Stark and he’s got a plan to save us all.

    You see, Mr Musk isn’t content to just be one of the most influential, powerful or richest men on planet Earth, he wants to save humanity from what he sees as ‘looming extinction’.

    Why do climate deniers find blogs useful believable sources of information yet ignore the vast consensus of published scientific papers????

    Flights got affordable we visited different places opened our minds

    Dressed better on cheaper clothes not hand me downs

    Air travel and clothing

    These seem to be the first two attacks on the working class in their manifesto

    Scientists have indentified where humans have originated 200,000 years ago. It seems they migrated from Botswana due to “climate change” 70,000 years ago. I didn’t realise we had cars and planes that long ago, interesting.

    I find the 70 K year bit hard to believe as Australina Aboriginies have been there at least 60,000 years.

    Last night there was a program about Australia's great barrier reef. The outer edge of it to the current shore line used to be dry land. Sea levels were lower due to an ice age but those pesky Neanderthals lit so many fires to keep warm, they released so much CO2 that the planet warmed up to extinction levels and all life on Earth perished - oh, wait...

    (In case the twerps don't get it - some of that was made up?

    to paraphrase Marks&Spencer, there's climate change, and then there's anthropogenic climate change ...

    It's posts like this that make me believe deniers seem to revel in ignorance.

    Why not dispute the post with an evidence based response instead of the above condescending rubbish which is all to prevalent in this thread? It would be refreshing.

    Because I don't think the post is serious or informed in any way. The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.

    Considering your response it would also be fair to attach the same bs to your posts as you are unwilling to engage in debate if the other posters position is different to yours. That's pretty pathetic tbh

    It was scientists that made the claim, just like the ones you say are correct about “ climate change”

    Climate enthusiasts like 20cent it’s either their way or the highway. They won’t listen to any other theories, once a car or a plane produces co2 that has to be the cause. Now thats ignorance.

    Well air travel is responsible for 2 per cent of global emissions whilst the clothing industry is responsible for 10 per cent. Think we should all wear fig leaves less harmful on the environment.

    .

    What the hell are you talking about? It’s a scientific fact that climate change was happening over thousands of years., go educate yourself and you’ll see. You just don’t want to know or accept any facts only your own bs.

    I could argue your unwillingness to dispute what is posted protrays you also of being incapable. The proper way of debate is to attack the comment not the commentator. You do yourself no favour with an adhominen attack.

    The reason that he would attack the commentator is because he clearly can’t argue against that fact.

    Do people talk about touchdowns and slam dunking baskets in the football forums?
    If someone posted in the rugby forum about how Ireland would have beaten New Zealand if they used different hurls, would they be taken seriously?
    Would posters start explaining what the sport was and the rules for it?
    or would they think this person is either ignorant of the game or taking the p1ss?

    You’re talking bs now. Are you upset Ireland lost or something? You’re on the wrong forum now.
