Every single discussion I have about climate ends with "yes, that's one side of the argument, but who really knows what's the truth".
Motherfucker, you said something that's false. I showed you you were wrong by a factor of several million. Where ever the exact truth lies, it's way on the other side of the fucking moon from your standpoint.
