And yes this is ad hominem, but so is your thread title, so mark at your peril.
Patrick's ad hominem rule only applies to direct attacks towards PatNetters, not the general population. That's why every other thread is an ad hominem attack on liberals.
P.S. Your threat only makes you look powerless.

The world population keeps rising!
Uncontrolled population growth fucks things up no matter what your economic policies are. It's best to leave population growth to the free market and let people have a harder time having multiple kids rather than to subsidize population growth with cheap energy at the expense of the future. Why do you hate the free market so much?

Not an AH.
Wasn't me who started the Global Warming hoax. That was your team Dan, and you know your team is Fubar.
So you're not going to address the thorough debunking of your previous lie then? You are conceding then that it is a lie.
As for your next lie, the scientific evidence for both climate change and global warming, one aspect of climate change, is overwhelming. There are literally thousands of independent lines of evidence from ice core samples to tree rings to fossilized remains of sea life to thermo-imaging of the oceans to statistical rise in hurricanes and tornadoes that all say the exact same thing: climate change is happening right now and at a fast pass due to fossil fuel burning.
If even one of these lines of evidence contradicted the others, it would be front page news. The fact is that there is zero contradictory evidence, and the plenitude of evidence proving man-made climate change is simply too great, too consistent, and too global to be wrong.
Furthermore, scientists from around the world have incredible incentive to prove other scientists wrong, yet they all agree on the evidence and the picture it paints. The only ones who "disagree" are fake scientists paid for by fossil fuel burners to publish propaganda. All such propaganda has been debunked, and the bribes exposed in detail. There isn't a single detraction that has withstood even the slightest scrutiny.
Quite frankly, only a complete idiot would fall for such propaganda.

A disregard for human life and suffering in the pursuit of short-term profit.
One of the biggest argument against climate change mitigation is that it would be bad for the economy. That's the same argument capitalists made against ending the slave trade. And they are wrong on both counts. Slavery harmed the economy because it destroyed the virtuous cycle of productivity, wages, and spending. Pollution harms the economy by destroying wealth and productivity and inflicting direct and indirect costs on society.
Also, that last guy stole my line.
The first step in solving a problem is recognizing that there is one.
Sounds a lot like, the first step in solving a problem is acknowledging its existence. Maybe I should give a Ted Talk.
