    Like the one old Trumpy flies around in? Bet he isn’t paying any carbon offsets

    Isn’t it? How do YOU know? And again she might have decided to invest in carbon offsets instead

    1. These are not liberals, not are they environmentalists.

    2. Cult leaders rarely lead by example.

    But in doing so they would be going against the word of God.which would imply that they were lying.

    So would the authors of the Bible then. What's the difference? How can you be sure who speaks/writes the word of God for you? When God himself isn't doing the communicating directly... how do you pick the right middleman messenger? And why would God use one to begin with?

    If one isn't a christian one won't know the difference so suffice it to say that Jesus is quoted telling the apostles that no one save God the father alone knows when the end will come.

    Take it or leave it. Hiding under the covers is not an argument.
    The data were sourced and I'm confident they're accurate. If you think the sourcing is inaccurate then it's up to you to make that case.

    Ah! So I am to use “blind faith” then? Sorry that dog don’t hunt. It is not the sourcing I am questioning, although I would like to know the tracking methodology they are employing, it is the analysis of that data by your opinion piece writer and how it compares to what the source actually states. In other words - go back to the original source material since the actual graphs do not come from there. I mean the fact that your author spent years and years working in the fossil fuel industry……….https://www.desmog.com/gregory-wrightstone/

    I have already found the pea in his shell game here but I am betting you can’t

    BTW Your option piece has only a couple of references - if you want to impress me and other science minded folk try choosing articles with a higher academic standard

    The data are the data. Please don't flatter yourself that I'm trying to impress you. I simply present the evidence.

    No they are NOT. Data can be manipulated and this was - I am just betting you cannot see where and how

    And this Christian declares that Christian isn't a Christian, and won't know the difference. And both claim Jesus said different things, and that God wants different things. Funny how God doesn't speak for himself directly eh? It would sure go a long way towards clearing up who speaks the truth.

    And if you ignore what the Bible says of itself then you are a pretender to the throne.

    Trump isn't the idiot claiming the world will end if we don't eliminate fossil fuels...And green indulgences are every bit as worthless as the others.
