Maybe in bizzarro world.

I don't think the data backs your statement.

I like to think that they go to church occasionally and still have their faith but they are in a culture that is increasingly faithless as you said.

I did my best as a parent. They went to church most Sundays and all were confirmed and went on mission trips and did volunteer work through the church. And they know that their mother and I still go to church so now I have to keep my mouth shut and just lead by example and hope they pay attention.

My daughter has kept her faith but she has never been the type to be influenced by her peers.
Why do you assume that it is due to influence of peers? I went to an incredibly liberal university and professors didn't push any religion - and even if they did, your sons were adults. If they are so easily swayed, then look in the mirror.

Likely, they developed critical thinking skills and learned that they don't have to pretend to believe anymore.

Easy answer: I don't.

If I ask someone who their favorite American football player is and they say "David Beckham" I wouldn't trust their opinions on football either.

It's cool, I had no illusions that you understood the difference between weather and climate in the first place, so your retort is not surprising.
I don't think you do either..

Why did temps INCREASE when global CO2 production MASSIVELY DECREASED during the Great Depression?

Why was the earth not wiped out (nor the planet boiled) when CO2 levels were 5-6X what they are today?
the planet actually thrived and had less arid regions under such levels.

Maybe, if you were worried about them thinking for themselves, you should have kept them home where you can control them.


Not really new ideas though are they? I thought that was an unfortunate way to word it as soon as I read it. College professors are going to push a very one sided agenda on kids and if they were raised a certain sort of way it may seem like new ideas to them, but they are far from new ideas. They are ideas that have been shoved down our throats since the days of Karl Marx.


The kids who are most susceptible to this sort of indoctrination are the ones who are not exposed to these supposedly new ideas when they are younger. Kids who think they are being clever when they bring these ideas home to mom and dad for Thanksgiving dinner won't be feeling this way if they'd been exposed to these ideas and arguments for and against them when they were growing up.

Why don't you go and figure out the difference between climate and weather first. No point in arguing with someone that demonstrates clear ignorance on the topic until they educate themselves to a bare minimum understanding on the topic. I wouldn't argue baseball with someone that said their favorite pitcher was Tiger Woods either.

That means unbiased scientific sources not propaganda websites.

It is cool though:
Dude dying and flying up into the sky - Totally reasonable and not superstitious
Organisms having an impact on the ecosystem they live inside of - Superstitious nonsense hokum

Yep, all of science is a conspiracy to push the liberal agenda! But that dude that died really did fly up into the sky. Why oh why are all the global warmists so superstitious.
