Exactly!

You mean like how the Dog cuts and pastes graphs that he doesn’t understand and expects others to waste their time explaining them? :lol:

Yes, we all recognize that there is no science in the OP.
But if by denialism you mean the refusal to accept an empirically verifiable reality then we must agree that a worse case for the climate-alarmism fails to meet an "empirically verifiable reality", ergo no denial/refusal is necessary.
they simply make different assumptions about what happens in the future.

It is okay to be mentally handicapped, we don't judge you! It is not your fault.

Apparently a question such as, "How does the carbon cycle work?" is not a science question. I'm not sure why it's not. Subby will have to explain that.

Yes, you may require explanation, so here is an example for your edification:
Simply asking "carbon cycle?" isn't science, just as answering "carbon cycle is magic" isn't science.
The context of my response is clear inasmuch as it was directed towards the pressuposition and "gotcha" infused OP.
But yeah, you think the OP is scientific.

subs, your posts are beginning to look like incoherent babble. The OP didn’t attempt to label anything ‘science’; it just listed some questions.

You don’t have to try to answer any of them. It’s OK. ; )

Four words could be deleted from that sentence without detracting from its accuracy.
Zadok:
I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis.
Maksutov:
That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
