You seem pretty adamant about people knowing you don’t care. To me, it looks like a lot of words for someone who doesn’t care.
We get tired of the senseless argument with people who've been assimilated. We are not all powerful beings who control the planet, we just ride on the damned ever changing thing blasting unprotected through space. It get's hot, it get's cold, deal with it. The only problem we need to deal with is pollution, and toxic waste in particular. Not for the planet's sake but for ours, and other living things.

Just to clarify, you are saying that any data anyone produces to support climate change as being real, you deny as it is statistics?
So what data do you have that supports your opinion that climate change being a bad thing is incorrect?

Surely the most likely scenario is that the people with the most money to bias any studies and data are the richest.
For example, those in control of the oil industry.

As opposed to tree huggers who only have a couple of feathers and lentils to their name?
I guess you think Al Gore is broke.

Right, so your opinion is slightly different.
You agree that poisoning ourselves makes very little sense, right?
OK, as you are being rude about other people's opinion, I will say what others think about yours.
You see, I find your comment about people being assimilated as being rather naive.
It seems to me that perhaps people with your opinion are the ones that have been brainwashed by the oil industry and other organisations that are interested in taking your money which you seem proud to give them.

What if you are wrong?
The figures and statistics seem to point to the fact that man kind is, indeed, changing the planet.
I suspect, if we survive long enough, we will be looked at and laughed at for our naive damage we do.
I suspect it will be known as 'the plastic age'.
There, for sure will be a thick layer of plastic deposit to help future archaeologists date things.

I am a pretty cynical person and tend to disbelieve everything I hear and read.
I struggle to see what body or group benefits financially from people using less stuff.
I have seen your arguments before but I always struggle to see how it makes sense.

Who is it who benefits from brainwashing me into consuming less fossil fuels?

Wheras I can see how the oil industry would benefit from biasing research in their favour.

Ah, circle speak, goodbye.
Nope, just trying to understand your point.
What are you saying?
Sorry you think I am circle speaking.
It was unintentional.
Like I say, I didn't understand what you were saying.
Please clarify.

You speak as if you know something others don’t.
But can’t share it.
You speak as if you’re enlightened and understand the ways of the world others can’t see.
But you can’t show it.
You are consumed by your own ego.
Nothing, absolutely nothing could convince you that your thinking/feeling is wrong. Yet I am open to the possibility and you call that being assimilated. Having an open mind is not a flaw.

It doesn’t help with people making nonsensical off topic comments that distract and are only there to entice negativity.

I’d like to see a higher tax on gasoline (here in the US) and less tax incentives to big oil companies.

My meat consumption has gone down over the years but I feel that’s a product of just healthier living for myself and not a conscious effort to reduce my environmental impact.
