I recently made a comment related to Climate Change on reddit.

Here is the text:

And the climate change people rarely seem to have any knowledge of the actual history of earth.

Earths climate has been wildly, massively changeable throughout its history and we are living in a mind bogglingly rare 'island of stability' climate wise. A lot of them will deny this so vigorously it borders on psychosis. I was accused of 'posting misleading data' for posting RAW HISTORICAL DATA showing we are at the end of an Ice Age and proceeding into a period of warming. Raw Data now equals 'Misleading' apparently. I had made no statement about it other than posting it to show the planet will be getting warmer as part of a non-political conversation. If raw data threatens your viewpoint, it might be time to re-evaluate.

Ironically the climate change people are actually climate change deniers, to use their own parlance.

I should add that no one sane is suggesting we don't have an impact on Earth and that we shouldn't look after the environment and limit things like single use plastic, pollution etc, it is just that 'Climate change' is going to happen regardless of any action we take. It is just how planets like Earth work.

LMAO Downvoted for suggesting we should ignore ignorant, hysterical doom mongers and actually take practical action to look after the environment with sensible and achievable measures. There you go OP, think that answers your question.

Of course it got heavily downvoted. The OP I was referencing was a question in askreddit "What's a shitty thing that redditors do?"

It's tough explaining a nuanced opinion to people who only understand bumper sticker slogans and think everything is binary (good, ungood).

My climate change argument stopper is, when water front property is cheap and available, I will be on board with climate change. Climate drones short circuit when I bring that up.
