If you are willing to accept that as fact then you are their target audience. Where is all this water going to come from to keep rising 2 metres per year indefinitely? And secondly, its 200 years away, me and my kids will be long gone. Its hard to care about something so far ahead. The only thing I believe is that the rest of my life and my kids lives will probably go on as they have been for the next 50 or 75yrs, without all the doomsday stuff happening. Of course, some will believe I'm gullible for thinking this, but hey, each to their own.

Yet they have been negotiating for years to get Mercosur through, a deal which encourages the destruction of the Amazon, beef traveling thousands of miles, and CO2 emitting German and French cars going in the opposite direction. The politicians talk plenty but their actions will usually be the opposite.

OK after two glorious pages of questioning modding, climate denialism and taking pot shots at a 16 year old girl for having aspergers

WHY SHOULD IRELAND DO ANYTHING? we are a tiny blip in the scheme of things. we dont tear down our forests, and we dont emit anything considerable to the atmosphere. this is trump part 2. Irish morons getting involved in politics that does not and SHOULD not be anything to do with them

He might look like he’s got it made: a vast personal fortune, a beautiful wife, celebrity friends (and easy access to their fleet of private jets), most of his own hair, and free food. But don’t let these outward trappings of privilege and good fortune fool you into thinking that the private life of Prince Harry conforms with his happy-go-lucky exterior. Indeed, Prince Harry says he is so crushed by the state of the planet that he sometimes struggles to get out of bed in the morning.

Here is the Mod note when closing the thread.Maybe if yourself and the rest of the deniers actually got together and did some research and published a paper on the topic, ye would have some merit. This trying to equate an anonymous baying mob with documented science is a lost cause. Or at least it would be for most people.
