    I'm not into having a circular conversation. I've read the links you've posted and responded with counterpoints and references. If you choose not to read them, ok, no biggie.

    If one looks through the forbes 500, about 1/3 of high net worth individuals were born into privilege vs making their fortune through individual intelligence.

    As for my trading, it doesn't matter to me if the market goes up or down. I'm a front-running sentiment based technical trader - no news nor fundamentals necessary.

    Common sense is neither common nor sense and is used frequently as a logical fallacy. If you are a trader, one would know that the markets are counterintuitive and defy common sense. Just like climate, it is not a linear system. However our environment, our impact on it and the cost of that impact are gaining greater and greater awareness, regardless of those whom are resistant to that fact.

    Maybe you think micro plastics in the ocean don't exist since via common sense you cannot see them. From your logic it's just a global conspiratorial money grab, Al must be at the bottom of it and if we would only listen to you, we'd be enlighten, get with the program and MAGAFDL.

    counterpoints? more like diversions.

    look up correlation between intelligence and networth, it is common sense, also happens to be a fact.

    micro plastic? diversion again.

    it's painful to realize you have been con'ed... so stick to it... "2-inch CO2 film is a bigger factor than the fire ball". it's not circular... it's focus on the topic.. let's hear this sentence from you, then we can move on.

    Seen this all too many times before, it's a one-trick pony troll show, no thank you.

    You can gaslight your next victim.


    Happy trading to you!

    Happy trading to you too.

    Can't really discuss anything with someone who has no independence of reasoning.
    Dozey just comes out with his hero's stupid arguments. Nonsense seems to have gained control over common sense in the US. Hopefully it will only be temporary. Well 2 more years I suppose.

    again showing empty hands.

    do you want to pick it up with the 2-in layer of CO2? or shall we discuss specifically something else...

    and please, come back with something, with content.... not just a recycle of the fake news media narrative.

    The atmosphere has .04% co2.

    Educate yourself on why this makes a difference.

    ok - let's hear you say it - "2-inch CO2 film is a bigger factor than the fire ball".

    then we can move on.

    by the way - man-made climate change is real, and 97% of scientists do agree on that.. me too... the question is how much, and should we do anything at all.

    0.04% of CO2 does make a difference, but 99% is natural, so the man made CO2 is 0.0004%, which is 4 PPM.

    % and PPM are not easy for people to perceive, that's why I converted to the 2 inches.

    it's like you take a piss in the ocean and changes the ocean sodium level... should you stop pissing in the ocean... keep in mind the big fire ball is changing the ocean to a vastly vastly greater extent.

    as your eyes gradually open to the facts... yeah it is the biggest scam in human history.
    Money knows the truth.. follow the money all will make sense.

    - the $300m con take by Al;
    - the federal subsidies to renewable energy;
    - cap n trade, carbon taxes;
    - if ocean level will rise to cover miles of coastlines, as Al predicted, why are luxury condos still being built right on the ocean, all over the world? wouldn't builders, buyers, insurance companies get hosed? Miami, NYC, Boston, Vancouver, Shanghai, Hongkong.... you name it... condo prices all going thru the roof, especially the ones with the million-dollar ocean view.

    Money knows the truth.

    The movie the Big Short would demonstrate that 'money knows the truth' is not the case. The fact that the most of the financial industry focuses on beating the benchmark of the s&p in comparison to the market's continuing offer is another example.

    Money is an inanimate object. It does not 'know' anything. People invented the concept of truth.

    What is that to humans as water is to fish and air is to birds?

    If you can answer the riddle then you know the context that human's use to manufacture reality.


    As for sea level rise, you would do well to inform yourself.

    It's just too easy to refute your repeated assertions based on a flawed premises based on an unadaptable perception of reality. All you do is repeat the same thing ad nauseam. You've burnout other folks attempting to have a discussion with you and provide high quality references points.

    At first it's entertaining, but after a while it's like the two year old who constantly asks 'why?'

    This is not intended as an ad hominem attack, although I do use the word 'you' a lot.

    So the question remains, why is it so important to you to have others accept your pov?
