    He seems to depend on the use of insults, rather than making any kind of counterargument.

    Coal is actually doing reasonably well in the market. It's a long way from dying!

    Mexico's water problems are not caused by pollution, but by poor maintenance of their water distribution and sewage processing systems. Coal actually can burn quite clean. We do so here in the United States. Soot is the result of inefficient burns. We don't do that in the United States.

    WRONG. Every city, every town, every State, began with people going into the wilderness and hacking out a living. They had no government at all. Government came later to do something about things like thieves, murderers, and other riffraff. The lack of a government did not kill their horses, their dogs, the cattle, or even themselves. They built a marvelous society out of NOTHING.

    Capitalism is the only system that creates wealth. Republics (such as the federated republic that the United States is organized as) are the only form of government compatible with capitalism. Oligarchies and dictatorships, such as what you are suggesting, can only exist by stealing wealth.

    It has long been known that the Church of Ecology and the Church of Global Warming stem from the Church of Karl Marx. Yes...I know what you are.

    True. We are actually moving more toward a circular orbit at this point.

    True.

    That's why in Australia it's freezing cold in July and blazing hot on Christmas.
    The temperature of the Earth does not change. You are simply describing seasons. You are describing hemispheric temperatures, not the temperature of the Earth.

    You have assumed that all registered voters are believers in the religion of 'global warming'. This is actually bigotry. It is a compositional error fallacy involving people as the class. Registered voters are made up of people that belong to this religion, and also those that don't.
    Believers in the Church of Global Warming deny science and mathematics.
    You're cute! Can I bat you around as a play toy? Thanks!

    I'm a liberal. So was my dad, who was also a scientist. (As are two of my five kids). I'm also a retired health care professional who took university-level science and math classes to get her degree. My husband has a masters and spent his career in IT as a software engineer/systems architect. So yeah, I know math n science. I understand how science works, how to make observations over time, how to collect data, how to formulate a hypothesis, how to then use that data to formulate a theory. Oh, and yeah -- I know what a theory is as well. I'm just one of millions of other Americans, and even more millions of global citizens, who understand science and mathematics... and what "peer review" means. Unfortunately for you most educated ppl tend to skew to the left -- because we are educated and not prone to superstitious beliefs like Fox Knows Best. I'm afraid you're just a rabid raccoon barking up a dead tree, in a dying forest, where no one can hear you.

    Most mainstream Christians that I know believe the Earth is a bit older than 6K years...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    good. please be careful not to offend The Lord's "little ones which believe on Him". I am afraid to laugh at simple believers which may not understand the pre genesis creation and believe upon Him. they are innocent. that is; that museum may be run by innocent, simple, guarded , special little ones.
    Even so, Come, Lord Jesus

    Simple is as simple does. It would still make me laugh, much like a Flat Earth Museum would make me laugh. Though I am a Buddhist, even a Buddhist can find things funny.

    Counterargue massive willful ignorance? Not possible. Only possible to point it out.

    Make a reasonable point, pally boy. THEN, we can argue about it.
