I can’t bring myself to believe that.

Today, it's more about the climate news than anything else. I worry for my daughter's world.

Cynicism is a roller coaster. Sometimes you just gotta ride it out.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Yeah, I read through parts of the report. No good news in it.

Good to see the Dog is doing his part to defend terrified men from women. He's especially afraid of little old ladies with three times his IQ. :razz:

'BS Asymmetry Principle' states the amount of energy needed to refute BS is an order of magnitude greater than that needed to produce it. BS can be propagated quickly, but can be more difficult to disprove.

False accusations are not the only problem in the US. By 2040 climate change is going to significantly impact the US economy. Why not talk about the problems that the Right denies? Radical feminists can be annoying, but the left is still much better than the right.

Hell, the right is still denying evolution and human equality. Don't expect a reasoned response from frightened snowflake men clutching guns and praising their cult icon Trump. :wink: They're too busy being triggered by women who are smarter than they are, Trump gives them a safe space. :lol:
