    Go back and reread the comment thread.

    You said there should be an article that says climate change has happened and we can’t stop it

    I responded to that with how that article will lead people to believe there’s nothing to be done. This is one thing you’ve now said didn’t happen.

    That’s where you jumped in with saying everything you said is true. That at least carries an implication that what I said was not.

    Then I assumed your data was correct, because I don’t keep things memorized and didn’t feel the need to look things up. From here I asked you to consider whether it was worth it to do anything or if you thought everyone should give up. Admittedly I read in to your comments so far that you felt we should give up, but I’ll stand by that reading.

    From there you assumed I don’t keep up with news, don’t give a damn, and want to demonize wealthier people while still buying their crap. Did I miss any? All of those are assumptions about me. There’s also the unnecessary bit about feeding people bullshit in the flood analogy. What bullshit have I fed anyone?

    You didn’t say not to bother, but you’ll see how I’ve been pointing out how you give that implication this whole time if you bother to read the exchange as anything but biased toward yourself.

    Telling people en masse “it happened” is functionally the same as telling them “it’s over, don’t bother”. I’ve not been trying to make anything feel good. This situation is shit but your method doesn’t help anything but making yourself feel better. Ironic.

    Where else have I made assumptions about you? Where have I insulted you? Where did I act like you crossed a line?

    You certainly have now that you’ve shown you can neither discuss this rationally nor avoid devolving to name calling. You’re projecting your own behavior on to me. Look in a mirror. Reread your own words.

    I’ll give you no more of my time. Take your vitriol to someone else.

      Before you go, can you explain how telling someone, (whom you have no idea the life of) that they don’t give a damn about a topic they’re talking about isn’t an insult?
