Me: Sorry, you don't control the threads and we are allowed to point out where you are short sighted and don't understand what's at stake because of your adherence to trivializing a grave situation.

Okay, got it. You can unload all the snark you want in ways that have zero to do with what somebody actually said Because Muh Cause.

Sure thing, homie.

Climate change is a emotionally charged subject that's filled with lots of fascinating areas to discuss but for some, it's a quasi-religion and they're neither able to process nuance or understand any of the basic science behind what's going on. Thus they lash out in fairly predictable and juvenile ways, as you have.

Good luck with that. Just don't hide under you bed *all* day.

I'll leave you with this to ponder. You won't, but that's on you:

120 million people in China do not have enough food...they suffer from malnutrition...that means that their immune system is breaking down. You're not going to get them to stay poor.

Imagine you're Xi Jinping, the leader of China. When you're 10 years old there was a revolution in your country, a cultural revolution and people came and they put your father in prison. Your mother had to denounce him. Your sister killed herself. And you, no longer enjoying the protection of your formerly powerful father, were sent to live in a village where you lived in a cave house.

And here you are decades later: you have clawed your way up the bloody and greasy pole of Chinese politics to be the undisputed supreme leader of the very Communist party that destroyed your family. And you know that the main thing you have to do to survive and stay in power is to deliver the one thing that the people of China want:

Prosperity. Economic growth.

Where do you think climate change ranks on Xi Jinping's list of priorities?
