Basically, your premise is easily invalidated through numerous actual and logical examples. You are using flawed thinking.
That is wrong. People who are in many accidents obviously do not have much common sense and they have not learned from their mistakes. Luckily, they are a tiny minority, as most drivers are never involved in accidents, they define common sense, a lot of which is reflected in traffic rules and laws of course. Those did not fall from the sky, but are based on common sense.

It should be evident by the content they provided to the discussion in context to your response.

The only evidence the wingers need that climate change is a myth happens when today is not hotter than yesterday.

The earth heats periodically and cools periodically. And the climate changes constantly.

All the rest is hype from the climate shriekers.

For all the trillions of dollars and hundreds of millions of lives that the result of global warming is supposed to cost and displace, have any of you ever considered a scenario where the ice age happens and New York is under a huge glacier of ice? Have you ever pictured a scenario where the bread basket of the United States is unsuitable for growing food, let alone living?


The natural cycle of the earth shows that we live in the era of the ice age and that we should keep on releasing CO2 to do our best to prevent another one from happening again.

I highly doubt that, but at least it is a clear statement, and not some wishy-washy bubbletalk

If a temperature change is global - like during an ice age - then some regions might benefit if they had been too hot before. It largely depends on whether or not there is more or less precipitation. Maybe the Sahara and similar deserts would benefit from an ice age. There would be winners and losers, no doubt. Just like with a globally warming planet...

I heard that Jesus rode a Tyrannosaurus Rex onto the ark. There must have been a huge saddle on that thing!

There used to be a lot more Oxygen in the time of dinosaurs. There used to be plants in Antarctica. Where'd they go?
