Hilarious.

No, I would rather just point out how much of a simpleton you are, hence the previous post.

Try to keep up.

Climate scientists are the chiropractors of the field

I have no problems being challenged, but when you find a forum where one of the mods spouts rhetorical nonsense from a one eyed and one dimensional view point coupled with the threat of a ban, then I can already see how the tone of the forum and mods is. And mozzaoks view is certainly one dimensional

Encourage robust debate until the robustness is not in my favour

Maqqa, the spastic, doesn't understand the concept of a scientific theory! You smacking reject, you!

A scientific theory is a type of inductive theory, in that its content (i.e. empirical data) could be expressed within some formal system of logic whose elementary rules (i.e. scientific laws) are taken as axioms. In a deductive theory, any sentence which is a logical consequence of one or more of the axioms is also a sentence of that theory.[2]
In the humanities, one finds theories whose subject matter does not (only) concern empirical data, but rather ideas. Such theories are in the realm of philosophical theories as contrasted with scientific theories. A philosophical theory is not necessarily scientifically testable through experiment.

Deleted.

Not when one of the mods has deleted one of my first posts lapdog

Humanity as a whole has become dangerously out-of-touch with its own life-giving environment - and it is time that our species reconsidered its relationship with the planet - and preferably before we collectively-trigger a catastrophic explosion of unprecedented and self-escalating environmental reactions...

In its bizarre quest to conquer, control, plunder and accumulate, humanity has been wantonly destructive and wasteful - and has left enormous permanent scars on our landscape - and on aquatic systems and marinescapes too...

In the process, humanity has also been uniquely responsible for the rapid demise of countless plant and animal species - and biotic communities - and the speedy rise of a narrow range of both 'useful' species and many outright 'pests'...

Over the past few hundred years - and decades in particular - these impacts have been compounding and expanding at an exponential rate...

It is true that the environment changes in a dynamic fashion - but we must be mindful that natural processes rarely respond in the manner that we would want when we make such dramatic and widespread changes as we have been making...

It is also true that humanity has amassed invaluable knowledge and technology - but we should not be so arrogant as to presume that we can use same to control nature's grave responses to some of our most reckless actions...

To date, those nations who have been most responsible for harming the planet have demonstrated an unwillingness to make compromises in their relationship with the environment and/or the peoples of other nations...

Those dominant nations need to be told that they cannot continue to wantonly rob and poo in their own nests - nor can they be allowed to continue to plunder and pollute the nests of other nations, nor the future nests of their descendants...

We humans are smart enough to identify what damage has been done and to reasonably-predict the likely medium and longer-term consequences - but first we must ditch the arrogance, find some humility and compassion and take some responsibility for doing what must be done to prevent mass Darwin Awards...

Notably, we must stop worshiping the insatiable 'Growth Fairy' - and his evil twin the 'Good Greedy Witch of the West' - and their Mickey Mouse Monopoly Money!

Ahem!!!! That's the end of the brain explosion for the time being....
